Novel by a Nobel Prize winner about a caustic political writer.
I let it go inside Starbucks by the window. I thought the day before a bad storm was a good time to release "...Bad Year". I hope that you enjoy the book--and thanks for coming to Bookcrossing.com! When you have a moment, I'd appreciate it if you'd write a journal entry to say where this book has gone next.
Rescued at Goodwill Buy the Pound in Gorham, Maine, the last resort for books that don't sell at the Goodwill stores, on April 30, 2014.
I almost didn't see that it was a BookCrossing book as the spine label was partly hanging off, partly obscured by a Goodwill price label.
I will probably read this book before re-releasing it; it looks quite interesting. But I think the best part is the custom book plate label showing Badgerjim sitting with a bronzed Mark Twain, who is apparently reading to him. Love it!

I enjoyed this novel and it's most unusual format. It is now ready to find another reader.
