I am Not Sidney Poitier by Percival Everett
An excellent novel squeezed between a mediocre beginning and end.
Ian rated a book 5 of 5 stars
This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper
Family drama; hilariously funny, then sad. Parts are predictable, though the adventure getting there is fun.
Ian rated a book 4 of 5 stars
Instant by Christopher Bonanos
It made me want to buy a Polaroid camera.

Assumption by Percival Everett
Assumption
by Percival Everett
read in April, 2013
Unexpected. Hooked me though. Really three distinct parts; not sure how they are linked.

The Fun Parts by Sam Lipsyte
The Fun Parts
by Sam Lipsyte (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
The stories get better towards the end of the book; I'm kind of over Tovah.
Ian rated a book 4 of 5 stars
Truth in Advertising by John Kenney
Truth in Advertising
by John Kenney
read in February, 2013
Humorous. Excellent first novel. Narrative problems though, dragged on, and perhaps confused as to whether it wanted to be an industry book or a sprawling family portrait.
