[quote=Anonymous]Given the state of the world, I shied away from any heavy fare this month (e.g. put Isola back on Libby hold!): I am almost done listening to Dolly Alderton's Good Material. Basically a guy's "getting over a break-up" story, except double or triple as well done as I would have expected, and witty too. Also reading Richard Russo's Nobody's Fool, about the (mis)adventures of lovable loser Sully of small town North Bath. I enjoyed Straight Man and thought this one might fit the bill of what I was looking for this January. Nobody's Fool is vivid and funny, but also loooong and meandering--I am halfway through and I think it's fair to say nothing has really happened yet :-). I think I am moving this one to my "long haul" pile: not really DNF, but may jump in and out of it, depending on my mood, while I start another read! Any recs for lighter/funny but still well-written reads, DCUM?[/quote]
