i don't think I've blogged about this yet, forgive me if i have- shows the state of my brain right now. that and the fact that playing scrabble last night i was asking if common words were in fact words. someone needs a vacation.. :) anyways, thanks to more airports in my life, i also just finished this book. i really love t.c. boyle's writing- if you haven't read anything by him start with tortilla curtain, though I'd recommend this highly as well. it's more of a thriller and a book i almost didn't want to finish because it was so good. his writing is so vivid i can easily picture in my head what's happening in the book as I'm reading it, and months later still remember what the book was about. let's be honest, sometimes we read books and forget if we liked them or not.
