by Anne Enright
How I chose this book: I loved The Gathering, have read it twice, and am thinking about rereading it. So I wanted to read Enright’s new novel. Also, I’ve been revising my first novel, written in the first person, and wanted to read a novel written in the first person.

RE: JESUS’ SON BY DENIS JOHNSON
I love this book, Jesus’ Son by Denis Johnson. It’s one of those books I always go back to for its spare prose, wry gritty humor and small moments of lyrical beauty that seem to rise almost magically out of a desolate, drug-addled world.
I agree. Thanks for your comment!
RE: WRECKER BY SUMMER WOOD
I’ve pre-ordered 8 copies already. I cannot wait!!!
Way to go, Barb!
RE: WRECKER BY SUMMER WOOD
Looks great, Cynthia, I’ll check it out (but maybe not 8 copies….).
Hi Jim, nice to see you here. I’m on page 60. Wrecker is a great name for a little boy, isn’t it?
Hope you enjoy it, Cynthia. I am partial to the child narrator who appeals to the adult reader and cannot wait to hear how you like it.
I’m liking it so far : )
