Alt...Do you mean <I>Summerland</I> or <I>The Final Solution</I>? Although, was the <I>Final Solution</I> billed for kids? In any event, I thought <I>Final Solution</I> was amazing, and I tried to read <I>Summerland</I> but, for the life of me, cannot get into anything that much about baseball. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I do love <I>The Mysteries of Pittsburgh</I> and also <I>Wonder Boys</I> (as well as the movie!)<BR/><BR/>I've head the Middlemarch (I thought it was bbc?) series was great - I'll have to check it out one day. Good luck with your sudoku! I've fought that addiction myself.Special Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229302072441415979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35259097.post-24531622921897328522007-04-14T20:28:00.000-07:002007-04-14T20:28:00.000-07:00BTW---if you haven't read Chabon's earlier work "T...BTW---if you haven't read Chabon's earlier work "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh" you're missing out. To me it was better than Kavalier and Clay.<BR/><BR/>He's a local boy, you know. From the prototype community (Columbia, MD) that Stepford Wives was most likely drawn from.

I was very happy to present it to a favorite third grader yesterday. God; I hope she'll let me borrow it when she's finished!!<BR/><BR/>As for Middlemarch, congratulations on getting through at any rate. I absolutely loved the story line when I watched on a PBS serial...I may have even purchased it. I have two books going that I haven't picked up in a couple of weeks (oh that wicked sudoku...) and a growing pile of other must-reads. If it goes too long between my own blog posts you may all expect to find me crushed to death under the weight of them all...KHMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370307704273976378noreply@blogger.com
