I finished two books last night.
1. Death of a Stranger. A mystery given to me to read by my home care kid’s dad. As I don’t often read mysteries, I found this one quite a nice change of pace. It had a train wreck, hookers, amnesia. What more could you ask for?
2. Wobegon Boy. This book was great. Funny and just a little sweet. Really a perfect combination. It’s about one mans midlife crisis. But not a typical one. While I enjoyed this book, I did not enjoy it quite as much as The Chicago Sun Times who said, “…had me spraying Diet Coke from my nostrils and scattering popcorn across the carpet in great gusts of mirth.” I’ve decided that I should include quotes from the books I like so I leave you with this.
“New Yorkers panic if anything about the Midwest comes into a conversation, because, one, they don’t know anything about it and, two, they’re not entirely sure where it is.” -Garrison Keillor
