Inspired by SuiteP’s question, here are the books I’m currently telling my friends to read, already!
In no particular order, with links to their previous mentions on ye olde blog….
I haven’t ever read this before. I got about a chapter into it when I left it by my chair at the pool and someone swiped it, thus the suggesting to read it now. I am normally a really fast reader and I am finding this really chewy? It is so intricate sometimes that I have to reread paragraphs, which is fine, but now I am wondering what kind of crap do I normally read that makes this a little more difficult. Or maybe Heller is just a difficult read anyway? This is the first of his that I am reading so I don’t have an answer to that either.
Hope yall are enjoying it though. I really am.

It’s like Gabriel Garcia Marquez on crack. Set on the East Coast and in the Dominican Republic. With ample political commentary. Sexual repression. And the hot hot Caribbean heat.
Must. Read.
