Hot damn! If you’ll recall from my groggy, hungover post from a few weeks ago, my best friend was just recently here visiting. While she was here, we visited a bookstore (we also saw Slither which was really cool and funny and also gruesome, but I loved it). Anyway, when we were browsing in the bookstore, I admitted that I’d never read Carol Shields and she suggested I should. And she was so right (and she always is anyway, so I never doubt her).

I got The Stone Diaries out of the library yesterday and it is breaking my heart in two. I am not even through the first chapter yet and I can already tell that this is a book I’m going to love.

More on this to come…
