this reminded me of the time I went back to Connecticut with my wife to visit my mom and stepdad. we stopped at a used bookstore called Book Barn?...and there were about 15-20 copies of Revolutionary Road. I've never read it, but saw that as a sign that maybe I shouldn't.

Currently, I'm enjoying thriller romances, and the last one was Verity. I was really doubtful about this author because of some reviews, but I gave it a shot and I'm happy that I tried. Verity is quite a masterpiece, intriguing, and will always keep you in suspense, wondering what is going to happen next. Ind it's kinda... traumatizing.

Ehh, I think it's mostly a function of how many new copies were in circulation. I've never read Revolutionary Road either, but I've always meant to. I somehow ended up with a copy that has Leo and Kate Winslet on the cover that I've had in my collection for at least ten years. The first couple pages are great

It's not a very good book.

I skipped it for now.

Edit: North Woods had a long wait, and while our library did away with late fees I know someone will be waiting on it in two weeks. And it piqued my interest much more than the Franzen.

My library did away with late fees too and I haven't returned a book in four years.
