I got this slightly-battered hardcover from the local library's ongoing book sale, after seeing it on a BCer's wish list. I'll dip into it to see if I want to read it before passing it along. (The book's main character suffers from panic disorder, about which I've learned quite a bit from the author of the Cake Wrecks and EPBOT blogs, including this post.)
Later: I gave the book a try, but while it had some very evocative phrasing ("...she wasn't aware that her lack of hygiene and his love of coffee were coconspirators bent on his discomfort"; "They mewed with a pathos made famous by dead Greeks and abandoned women"), it didn't grab me. If a future reader posts a rave review, I might give it another try, but for now I'll pass it along!

I'm sending this to BCer katiesmama in Florida, as part of the US/Canada wishlist tag game. Enjoy!
Thank you, Gory for this wishlist book! Can't wait to read this, it's been on my wish list for many years.
