Glad you liked it as well, AMS. I bought Stiff after seeing those damn big feet staring at me from the clearance shelf at Barnes & Noble, and I couldn’t put it down — hilarious!

Also, I read The Fortress of Solitude this winter, also by Lethem, and I just don't see what the big fuss is about him. I’d like to read Wicked, because the show was fantastic.

I've been having similiar experiences with books a lot lately... I know stories about lives could go on for the duration of the life, but endings are important and I think they deserve some care by the author. A great book I read recently was Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenidies... same ending problem, but wonderful the rest of the way through. It's about a hermaphrordite, and the lives of a Greek-American family. A fluffier read but gripping story was The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Left me in seeing the world a little differently, in a good way. I can't wait to check out Stiff! Unrelated to this post, I wanted to thank you for introducing me through your blog to hooping, and for helping to start BAH. I tripped upon some hoops at a party recently and haven't been able to put them down since. It's been a lot of fun, and the BAHers are lovely folks. I always introduce myself as the "other Ariel." :) I'm interested to see what your other readers recommend. Book exchange, and music exchange, is soo wonderful.
