>Did you get the book from the library yet? I have moved on from Maria Semple and am on a Dostoyevsky kick. Now there is a guy who knocked it out of the park every time. Currently I am rereading "The Idiot." Probably appropriate ;-)
Wow! Good you mentioned it, I just checked and it is available, if I do not pick it up before tomorrow I would get a fine!
I love Dostoevsky too, I only remember one of his books thou, terrible memory for I read most of his, but for some reason the only one it stuck in my head is... damn, I read it in Spanish, "El jugador", so is probably not the right title (The Player? ah! The Gambler?)
