I love Nick Hornby. You should definitely read more of him!

*hugs again* re: your brother…I’ve been too afraid to read Didion’s memoir, even though I haven’t lost anyone in my immediate family (one of my grandfathers did pass last November, though).

As far as Herta Muller, I’ve yet to read anything about her and her books that makes me want to read them.

I’m sorry to read about your brother. I’m sure that would affect your reading of Didion’s book. I thought it was a very sad, but also pretty beautiful memoir about grieving.

If A Long Way Down is your first Hornby, please try more!! I was a little less kind than you were in my thoughts on the book but I do enjoy Hornby as an author.

I’ve been wanting to read The Year of Magical Thinking for years! Keep forgetting about it.

Nice set of reviews. I have hesitated to read Didion’s book because I’m not sure I want to live through someone else’s horrible year of grieving. I’ll think about it. I know that the Sookie books are light on plot sometimes, but still so much fun.

I’ve been wanting to read The Year of Magical Thinking, but I keep shying away from it. Maybe one day. And I definitely need to reread Dead and Gone before I embark on this Sookie adventure. I just can’t remember what happened in the previous book at all!

So Sookie eventually gets together with Eric, does she? Well who can blame her.

I actually really liked A Long Way Down when I read it when it came out but was so long ago I don’t remember the specifics other then the main character was just dealing with life. I think, more than anything, I just like Hornby’s writing style. I like these mini reviews

I am totally excited about Sookie’s book. Would love to reach that

The Year of Magical Thinking sounds awfully heavy. I would definitely have to be in the right mood to tackle a book like that.
