I had one of those pick-up-a-book-read-the-first-sentence-and-suddenly-realize-that-you've-read-an-entire-chapter moments.
It's The Giant's House, by Elizabeth McCracken and I love it.
I LOVE the narrator--spinster-librarian Peggy Cort. She starts:
I do not love mankind.
More on it after I've actually had a chance to finish it.

NO WAY!! That's so awesome.
I can't believe that Dave Alvin is your new internet boyfriend. I'm so jealous.
Also, I'm jealous that you're going to see him. Granted, I'm going to see Brent Hartinger and Chrissy, but still. Maybe you can talk Dave into driving up to the Shrewsbury Public Library.
