Last Night at the Lobster: Stewart O'Nan
Short small book. Wistful, kinda. Snapshot of a last shift on a closing Red Lobster. Good.
The Year of Magical Thinking: Joan Didion
Subjective and Objective analysis of grief and mourning after her husband dies. Really well done; intellectualized yet not.
Going to the library today. We'll see what I pick up.

My first limerick written FOR me by MRT
There once was a blogger named Nor,
Who everyone seemed to adore.
She'd blog and she'd post,
Much more than the most
And her readers still clamored for more.

BOTH books I've wanted to read. I have enjoyed some other O'Nan books. I really liked Good Wife and Songs for the Missing.
Definitely want to read the Didion book.
Hope you find some good ones at the library!
I loved the Year of Magical Thinking and had problems putting it down for oh things like working, sleeping, cooking. It really was a great book and I learned a lot about New York publishing as well.
I love your quick book reviews. I've always wanted to read Joan Didion.
Laura, you should indeed read both.
Kathie - thanks for visiting and commenting! I needed to take the book in shorter bursts to really think about it, but yes, it was packed with information.
Churlita - thanks, and do it!
