It has been requested that I post the next title, which is "Last Night at the Lobster" by Stewart O'Nan. I'd love to add a picture of the cover as well as the publisher's blurb about it, but I've been trying to figure out how to do that for the past ten minutes and now I have to leave for work. Rest assured that it is both short and set in present-day America.
Now by all means continue discussing Johnny.
Edit: Added in the picture and publisher blurb - PAK
"Perched in the far corner of a run-down New England mall, the Red Lobster hasn't been making its numbers and headquarters has pulled the plug. But manager Manny DeLeon still needs to navigate a tricky last shift. With four shopping days left until Christmas, Manny must convince his near-mutinous staff to hunker down and serve the final onslaught of hungry retirees, lunatics, and holiday office parties. All the while, he's wondering how to handle the waitress he's still in love with, his pregnant girlfriend at home, and where to find the present that will make everything better."

Good choice. Any thoughts on a discussion date? It's a very short and fairly quick read, so...March 1st???
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say: although I've been a little absentee up to this point, I have procured this next month's book and I am encouraged by its size. O'nan is the man.
ReplyDeleteI was just dropping by to suggest a quicker discussion date. I banged out the first 20% of the novel sitting in B&N for 20 minutes so I wouldn't be horrendously early when meeting someone for dinner. Excellent so far.
