FINISHED:

McCarthy, Cormac. (2006). The road. New York: Alfred A. Knopf.

[If you haven't heard of this one, I don't know what to tell you. It not only won the Pulitzer for fiction this year, it was also an OPRAH Bookclub pick. Seems like that would pretty much cover everyone. Um, I liked it. The language and style were definitely "literary", but it kind of played out as a highbrow Stephen King novel. Blasphemy, I'm sure. Back to the Young Adult fiction for me...]

STARTED reading again:

Knox, Elizabeth. (2006). Dreamhunter: book one of the dreamhunter duet. New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

[This was labeled "Outstanding" by someone at ACL, so I'm reading it to see if I concur. Our next meeting is next Friday, so I've got to get finishing.]
