Last one for the 'cleaning-up' finds bec house chores are exhausting (and i'm hungry! 😂) I DNF'd this book in college when i thought it was too mature for me but reread sometime later and found it beautiful and heartbreaking. I don't remember much about the long stories (the last two) but the one with the Dinosaurs is unforgettable.

MrsMalaprop My husband and coincidentally happened to be reading this when we first met 11 years ago ❤️. We had both read and loved Seven Types & so were making sure we read everything Perlman had written. 7y
bentchbites @MrsMalaprop Aww, how sweet! 😍😍 I haven't read anything else from Perlman so maybe now is the perfect time to look of his books. :) 7y
MrsMalaprop Oops, that should of course have read "husband & I" ?. Three Dollars & The Street Sweeper were good too. 7y
