This is my first Zadie Smith novel. I wanted to read White Teeth but it wasn't at the library. I am still trying to digest this book 2 months after I've read it. It was funny at times, really funny and it was constantly interesting. The story of an autograph man is original. What does it mean to collect autographs for a living? What kind of reality are you living in if you are searching for famous people's signatures from the past? This makes for an interesting character. I need to think about it more though because I don't completely understand the ending, but I think this is my fault and not Smith's. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17079322 Loving Frank: A Novel (Hardcover) by Nancy Horan

by Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers, I can't finish you. That's what I have to say about this one. I got about 3/4 of the way and then I really started to mistrust him. He just inserts this whole other story structure that makes the entire novel sag. I was disappointed; although, I may pick up another Eggers again. What did you think of it Penelope? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2205819 to: After This (Hardcover) by Alice McDermott
