HOT LUCNH SPECIAL
Hi friends. This month's specials are:
In fiction, & SONS by David Gilbert. I'm not sure this book ís a novel, in the traditional sense. And he uses a strange third person voice that is somehow omniscient to tell the story too. But the pop of language, the tragicomic pace, the intelligent insight, striking detail and free-spirited embellishment are absolutely worth the ride.

This excellent YA book about body image and self esteem has a secret rocket fuel, and it makes for a quick and rewarding read. Lexa tries out for a bit part in a school production of Bus Stop. But the director chooses her for the lead -- a role maste ...more |

Unexpectedly loved it. I'm not generally a fan of books with titles like "the xx's wife". If the main character is a woman, why make the man her reference point? This masterpiece of historical fiction proves me wrong. Yes, the main character does spen ...more |

Before this book, every family memoir I read was written as an act of revenge. Not this time. This is a story of sibling love, rendered with vivid and compelling detail. But it is not saccharine. This family is facing one of the worst diagnoses, offe ...more |

Novels made of letters are hard to made original, but this book delivers richly, thanks to keen characterization and masterwork of voices. Oh it starts with a prim and proper older woman carrying on the correspondence she has made an obligation and m ...more |

| An excellent memoir of the working rural life, told with keen precision and a big heart. It contains not one sentence of smarmy sodbuster tales, but rather explains the honor and responsibility in being the steward of a piece of land and the many ani ...more | |

This book has a spectacular opening: great and unique characters, an emotionally rich setting (a young woman seeing Paris for the first time, who is traveling with a grandfather full of nostalgia and memories mostly sweet). And a great hook for the p ...more |

“After all, what is love but the desire to know another person as thoroughly and deeply as possible? Every quirk and passion, each response to the changes of time, every possible inch of skin? Also perhaps to be ourselves known, with all our flaws, yet somehow miraculously still be desired?”

“We all have times when life intervenes and we get little done. But when our days are numbered, it feels like a kind of thievery. If there is ever a chapter in life with no time to waste, it is the last one.”

“But history does matter. There is a line connecting the Armenians and the Jews and the Cambodians and the Bosnians and the Rwandans. There are obviously more, but, really, how much genocide can one sentence handle?”

“Everything about [chance] scares the bejesus out of so many people; it's the this thing they try to avoid at all costs. Don't travel to the Middle East these days - there's a chance something could happen. Don't get involved with that new fellow on Creamery Street - I hear a lot of mud was scraped off his floor after the divorce. Don't have your baby at home - there's a a chance something could go wrong. Don't don't don't... Well, you can't live your life like that! You can't spend your entire life avoiding chance. It's out there, it's inescapable, it's a part of the soul of the world. There are no sure things in this universe, and it's absolutely ridiculous to try and live like there are!”
