pickManny‘s restaurant The Lobster has to shut down. Today is the last day it‘s open. It‘s snowing hard and Manny wonders whether his staff will turn up. Or any customers, for that matter. Yet he still goes about his business like it‘s just another day at The Lobster. Very touching and so well-written.

mcctrish Oh I want to read that one, thank you for reminding me about Lobster, I really should read more by him 1y
Librarybelle I need to read this! 1y
Suet624 Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to read more by him. I enjoy his writing. I read this one a number of years ago and liked it:The Odds 1y
The OddsSuet624 it's also funny because I rated Ocean State so-so, but I think I did that more because I thought it was too simple for TOB. It was a good story though and kept me reading and interested. 1y
LeahBergen What a gorgeous photo! 1y
BarbaraBB @Suet624 Thanks, I was thinking about which of his books to read next! And I felt the same about Ocean State and the ToB (edited) 1y

Reggie I‘m so glad you liked this. 1y
BarbaraBB @Reggie Very much! 1y
DreesReads I‘m glad you liked it! The Odds is the only other one of his I have read—it is very different yet somehow also felt very original to me. Even if I did not enjoy it as much. This one felt much more relatable to me personally. 12mo
BarbaraBB @DreesReads So good to see you here! I think I read this one because you just happened to mention it on your IG. I will read The Odds next. Have you read Ocean State? 12mo
DreesReads I have not! He has soooo many books I really don‘t know where to go next lol 11mo
BarbaraBB @DreesReads He‘s very productive indeed 😃. I‘m on the lookout for a cheap copy of The Odds and I can highly recommend Ocean State! 11mo
