Ooof, I really dislike this book so far. I've put it aside several times ... just not into it.

I liked Bachman's a Man Called Ove - I would describe that book as delightful.  But I really disliked Anxious People - the structure just didn't work for me.  He was trying to do too much in a very artificial structure.  I definitely plan to red several of his other books, though.

I really like most of Alexander McCall Smith when I was to feel good about people/the world.  His characters are fundamentally decent people.  I LOVE the Portuguese Irregular verb series, the Isabel Dalhousie series is very good to just get you thinking about ethics, and the Detective Varg Series is just...just about a decent person who encounters slightly weird situations.  I haven't even read the #1 ladies detective agency books, but they are so well regarded I bet they are good.

I just read my first book by Jenny Colgan (the Christmas bookshop) and it was gentle and sweet.  [/quote]
