I'm a little over halfway through Lessons in Chemistry, and I'm already recommending it to everyone! I sincerely love this book- thank you! (This question mark is for the question mark rule?)

Thanks, Erin! I really appreciate that. (And yes, the question mark rule is...funny!)

Bonnie Garmus:
I was thinking about your use of humor and how to classify it- it seems to have some qualities of absurdism but it doesn’t feel quite like satire. How would you classify it? The novel had an almost Vonnegut- feel, like it’s the novel he’d write if he was a woman living through sexism today. I was floored to listen to your interview and learn that you share a copywriting background.

Hello! I am using Google Translate so forgive me for any errors, I would like to thank you for the fantastic work that is Lessons of Chemistry, I really, really loved it. My favorite character was "6:30" and I would like to know how its name came about, does it have any meaning?

Your book was rich and full. It felt like you put everything you had into the book. You put it all out on the table (the kitchen table?) I wonder how you write another book that is so very full? I know that is a question that you probably can't answer. This book was magnificent. Thank you. (And gosh I wish with all my heart that you and I would get trapped in an elevator and we could just talk for hours...)
