Reading Unless by Carol Shields still. I borrowed it from the library, but I plan on buying it. Very interesting, probably another one with many layers that I can't grasp at the first reading.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

I think that Pelecanos guy created the show "The Wire" on HBO. I haven't seen it but it has gotten good reviews. I have been meaning to check out his books because I heard good things about them."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -
I've been making some poor reading choices lately. Well-written books, but depressing or even downright apocalyptic. I need to find things that are a little more uplifting ... that's why I was reading Huck Finn, but I need more. It's hard to keep these positive vibes going when you're reading about the end of the world.
Ms. Haiku, thanks ... I'll check out the book you recommended."Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 19630 -

Try reading "Cold Sassy Tree" by Olive Ann Burns.The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.

I finally finished Unless by Carol Shields. I STRONGLY recommend it. It rocked! Especially at the end. It was at the end that I realized how she was able to develop the characters, develop the story, and add sharp tidbits of laugh out loud humor within a story of serious subject. The tenderness is amazing, and it's all good. I think it's best to read as much at a time as possible. The words felt a little choppy, but towards the end I realized it was one of the best crafted books I've ever read. If you like Louise Erdrich books you'll like this.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
