trying to strengthen my standing with the FBs

Ty, NCS, anyone else here who reads???


I've been on an A. M. Homes jag, This Book Will Save Your Life, The Safety of Objects, Music For Torching, Things You Should Know, The Mistress's Daughter, May We Be Forgiven. She sometimes is a bit out there sexual-weirdness wise (she has a story of a 12 yo boy having an affair with his sis's Barbie), but man she can write. The M's Daughter a Autobiographical bit about finding out she was adopted and giving her bio 'rents a chance to connect was wonderful too, though I'm more a fiction reader.

Anyone ever read her stuff?

I saw her at The Happy Ending Reading and Music Series a few years ago when May We Be Forgiven came out, and her reading of the first chapter prompted me to buy that book. (After she finished the chapter, she did a speed dating round with men and women from the audience d as her "public risk" - a hallmark of of the Happy Ending series - and was pretty funny, so she got additional points from me.) I loved it and have taken to calling it the Great American Thanksgiving Novel. Unfortunately, the people I recommended it to were turned off by an early plot development which involved neither Barbies nor young boys.

I also read The Mistresses' Daughter earlier this year - it really was an amazing read.

FWIW the stuff written later is better than the earlier- Things you should Know better than The Safety of Objects, but all good.
