I went hunting for this book at the Starbucks on Capitol and Barbur, and found it right away on the community bookshelf. I have heard way too much "buzz" about this book (ok, bad pun!), but figured I owe it to myself to read it. :-) I hope I find it as good as (most of) the reviews...

I was prepared to dislike this book, after all of the hype about it. No less than TWO reviewers on the back of the book refer to its "deliciously eccentric" qualities! (Is that a popular phrase of which I am unaware?!) In spite of that, the book caught me up in its magic right away. More than just a coming-of-age story, this book is insightful and life-affirming. I read it in a matter of days, and it warmed my spirit. :-)
I plan to release it later this week, when I pay a visit to family in Wisconsin...
