the premise catches my imagination - the chronicle of a year of reading. she reads avidly, he reads cookbooks - i can relate. two or more books at a time - me too. she describes falling in love with a book - i know that feeling when a book draws you in and you stand at the stove cooking and reading simultaneously.
sara nelson, i think, is an almost-kindred spirit.
what holds the book back is the awkwardness of her hand. the comic touch is a tad heavy, and her choice of words is iffy. my gold standard for brash american comedy is jenny mccarthy, i think.
i am not finishing this one.
