Finished the Barrows last night. Readable, well-written, but a little creepy in places (i.e., racist, homophobic, ignorant) and ultimately unremarkable.
Also, finished the Lynne Truss book on rudeness. Well-written prose, not entirely without merit, but ultimately a little meh. Do I really need to read one more person's take on the aggravations of telemarketers calling at dinner?
That Lurie book is a gem. I read it once before, years ago; this is a second reading.

You read so much more than I do. And I think I read a lot.
