I've enjoyed both her nonfiction and her fiction over the years. The more I listen to Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake the more I love it. It is my favorite of her books so far, but I doubt many readers under 50 would appreciate it. For fiction, I loved One True Thing and Object Lessons. Also would recommend Black and Blue and Every Last One.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-72261572283102445522012-06-04T15:47:30.796-04:002012-06-04T15:47:30.796-04:00Sounds like some great books.

I loved his novel North River and the nonfiction Downtown: My Manhattan (on audio, read by the author). A couple of years ago he was a speaker at a lecture series I attended with my book club - my favorite of the season. We decided he was the author we would most like to meet at a dinner party! I'll post a review for Tabloid City in June but, with many elements of his talk and previous books were included, it felt like a novel that was his alone.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-44298470745179462612012-05-31T20:55:56.428-04:002012-05-31T20:55:56.428-04:00Sandy - You've got a few years to go, but this...Sandy - You've got a few years to go, but this is such a great book.
