by Richard Yates

One of my all-time favorites. THE EASTER PARADE is not as complex, but equally heartbreaking. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72813678 Dina's review of Travels With Barley: The Quest for the Perfect Beer Joint

No, Dina, tell us how you really feel. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78311613 to: There Goes the Bride: An Agatha Raisin Mystery (Agatha Raisin Mysteries) by M.C. Beaton
I read this instead of listening to it as I did the others, and I think that was a mistake. The writing is simply unartful and clumsy, and this is more apparent when you're looking at words rather than listening. I also thought the book would never end. The last fifty pages or so seemed tacked on to satisfy an arbitrary page count. Still Agatha Raisin is as amusing as ever with her imperfections and flawed thinking. The lightly plotted novel was about all I could manage this month given all the other reading I have to do. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78311363 to: The Book of Lost Things (Hardcover) by John Connolly
I listened to this one, and it was the perfect follow to THE STOLEN CHILD. It's a fairy tale for grown ups--well written, compelling, and totally absorbing. I was sad when it ended. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77639177 Ghostbread (Awp Award Series in Creative Nonfiction) by Sonja Livingston
