"Try this," Anhil said, putting a coconut-topped chocolate donut on a small plate in front of Richard. He looked at Richard and the donut with great intensity, as if this were the donut that would fix Richard, as if there were certain donuts that were better for certain ailments, as if a donut could have curative powers.

I remember thinking that this book sounded good when it was chosen for the Richard & Judy Book Club in 2007, so I was pleased to see it turn up at a BookCrossing meet-up.

Richard Novak has withdrawn from life, although he doesn't really believe his housekeeper when she says he hasn't left the house in months. A suspected heart-attack shocks him out of his stick-in-the-mud ways and he gradually starts to reconnect with life.

It may be full of LA angst, but I enjoyed it once I had got used to it being written in the present tense.
