| Listened to this during 10 hours of driving and think I might have smiled the whole time. My face hurt. A charming and funny look back at a happy childhood and probably the funniest history of the 1950's you'll ever come across. ...more | |

| I enjoyed Harry Crews’s The Gospel Singer, a tragic parable about the one ray of hope in a fairly destitute 1960s Georgia town called Enigma: its famously beautiful, golden-haired, golden-voiced Gospel Singer, who brings pure joy—and sometimes even g ...more | |

| Julian Barnes's Departures is an unusual novel in the form of a memoir, made up of short pieces about places, people, books, art, travel, and aging. It's clearly about himself, but never in a straightforward autobiographical way. He often approaches ...more | |
