Can't wait to start this: Brad Watson is the Mississippi author I tell people they should be reading. I love him.
Finally started this in earnest. Every sentence stabs me in the heart, but in a good way.
I've been flirting with this book for years, but I think it's finally going to happen this time!
I'm flummoxed about this one. It was fine, but why is it so popular?! Is it the cute cover? Because that cover is very cute.
I knew I would love it, but I didn't know exactly why. It's inventive, funny, sad, and utterly human. Add "invents a new narrative form" to the mix. Your kids will study this in school.
I'm unabashedly bragging about having a copy of his in my hot little hands. Starting it tonight!
I've heard this is horrible. Can't wait!
Nothing can top Life After Life for me, but this was close. The Todd family is my favorite (right after the Mitfords).
I'm excited and a little scared to start this, but may just leave it on the couch since it looks so great with my throw pillows.
My work bookclub just read this, with mixed reviews...mixed because half the group didn't read it at all. The half that read it liked it (but we all agreed that we hated the Chalfens, both in character and in their role in the narrative). Next up is Elizabeth Gilbert's The Signature of All Things!
I loved Life After Life so much I bought this the moment it came out, but like a weirdo I didn't want to start it because that means one day it will end. Taking the plunge now!
