I seem to be stuck on page 22 of the latest book I've been reading, Love in the Time of Cholera, so I decided to put that one on hold and buy myself a new book. On the advice of my friend Dava, I picked up Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
I was kinda hesitant, as the lead character's dad gets killed in 9/11. I don't want to read or watch anything dealing with that event, as it just makes me angry and sad and want to kick some ass. As a pacifist, those are feelings I'd rather not feel all the time. However, I've been told that it's been handled very well and is not the main part of the story. So, I'll take a chance on it.
