Hi Naomi, I must admit I’m a sucker for dog stories! I need to get Less back sometime, perhaps it’s good as a summer read. Who couldn’t use some humor?

Thanks Laila, I need to get Less back from the library. I’ll put myself on the waitlist once again. Cheers. Less is probably a lot More right?

Hi Ti, I second that — I had Zero interest in gambling too, yet the memoir sort of caught me up in Molly’s rise from rags to riches & then her fall. Thx for telling me about the Greer interview. I will have to check that out along with his novel. Cheers!

I’ve not seen Molly’s Game but it’s featured on On Demand so I keep seeing a commercial for it. It looks good and I have ZERO interest in gambling.

Thanks JoAnn. The weather looks promising this week — into the 60s! Bye bye snow! I will have to check out Less sometime in the near future. I usually like humorous novels, if indeed they are funny. Sigrid Nunez is a writer I hadn’t heard of before this — but she’s written quite a bit. Enjoy your week.

Hi Diane, thanks for the word on Chappaquiddick; I think I will see it. Also glad you enjoyed Molly’s Game. All is well here, thanks, and I hope so for you too.

Ha Jane. Funny. Every once in awhile I’ll mix in a memoir or thriller that’s a bit crazy and this one fit the bill perfectly. It’s a look at contemporary life that sometimes can surprise you that it’s happening. Chalk it up to a study of human nature.

Yes Susie, I hate tiny fonts! A bit of a headache in The Friend. I started the memoir to Molly’s Game and I was in the middle of it when I saw the movie of it on rental, which felt sort of like cheating. But then I was still into listening to the audio and had to see it through. I will try to get Less back from the library — I too am a bit curious what I’ll think of it.
