35 Down, 17 To Go ("This Book Will Save Your Life") (52 Books, 52 Weeks)
Reading A.M. homes' apocalyptic novel This Book Will Save Your Life was truly a mixed blessing. On the one hand, the book is one the most outstanding novel I have read all year. Clever, witty, and a slick satire of modern life, I savored every moment. I rarely cast the characters in books with actors, but I could definitely see Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry David bumbling through as the protagonist and breaking out of his self-imposed isolation. On the other hand, not having read anything else that Homes has written, I have a distinct urge to put off my obligatory 52 Books, 52 Weeks and Book Notes reading and search out more of her work. Can anyone recommend a starting point?
