All the Time in the World: New and Selected Stories
by E.L. Doctorow
by E.L. Doctorow
I was very excited to read this one since so many of my Goodreads friends have gushed over Doctorow's work. In fact, I have several of his novels waiting in the wings, but I thought his short stories would give me a nice glimpse of what I could expect from his style. Overall, I thought the book was just okay. As with most short story collections, some stories really stand out more than others. However, I will say that a lot of Doctorow's stories had a dark edge to them that I found intriguing, so I'm looking forward to picking up his other works that are collecting dust biding their time in my library. Perhaps those same Goodreads friends could point me in the direction of which E.L. Doctorow book I should wrap my mind around next? *hint hint*

Sweet! I heard you and Logan both rave about that one, so I'm sure it's great. Plus, hoarders really give me the heebie jeebies in a train-wreck, can't-look-away, oh-my-gawd-I-can't-believe-that kind of way.Didn't you say you really dug Ragtime, too?
I'll get this one in the mail to you over the weekend. :)
I did really like Ragtime, but I think you will like H&L better...you should read them both, though.If you want to borrow them I would be happy to send them your way. Just let me know.
And, thank you!
I LOVED H&L!!! Though Ragtime is awesome the 2 brothers of H&L are so endearing it has to be my fave.
I own Ragtime, City of God, Billy Bathgate, The Waterworks, and The March. I'll try to pick up Homer & Langley soon. Thanks, ladies! :)
Haha! I love that we recommended the ONE you don't have.I have Waterworks and Billy Bathgate - let me know when you pick those up and we can read them together. Actually, let me know a week before you pick them up so I can start and maybe we can finish at the same time!
Seriously, let me know if you want me to send you H&L - I can put it in the mail next week.
Haha. It's all good. I probably won't be able to get to it until this fall (you know how it goes), so I wouldn't worry about sending it right now. Thanks though. I may take you up on it later if I can't procure a copy.Would definitely love to read one of those with you. How about The Waterworks this fall? I heard it was supposed to be VERY good.
I would suggest Homer & Langley...I think you would really like that.
