I just finished The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz which was most excellent. Before that I read Can I Keep My Jersey by Paul Shirley, which I recommend for anyone that likes sports books. I just started St. Urbain's Horseman by Mordecai Richler. If you're a reader, check out the website Shelfari. If you want to add me as your "friend" there, it's my username here at yahoo.com
