bookshelves: all-politics-is-local, non-personal-non-fiction
Dave Eggers is brilliant. This deceptively simple book sucked me in and then spat me out. Incredible true story about a guy who survives Hurricane Katrina only to be used and abused by our government. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77495674 to: How to Buy a Love of Reading (Hardcover) by Tanya Egan Gibson

bookshelves: contemporary-fiction
I keep going back to Larry McMurtry, because I keep hoping he'll snap out of the malaise he sunk into after his heart attack. I feel, with this book, that it's starting to lift. A little. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74377347 to: Best Friends Forever: A Novel (Hardcover) by Jennifer Weiner
