Read The Road at the start of the summer – didn’t like it at all, and not just because of the incredibly depressing subject!! I haven’t read any of his other books, so don’t know if this is his usual style of writing, but it didn’t work at all for me. The Mayflower is great – particularly interesting to a native New Englander like me! Suite Francaise is also excellent; generated a wonderful discussion in our book club. Just finished A Year of Magical Thinking – could have been a depressing book, but it wasn’t; very well written. Also enjoyed A Year of Wonders, The Shadow of the Wind, and The Runaway – this latter is a book of short stories, which I don’t normally go for as much, but it was great.
