Reading Recommendations and/or Reviews

Much like how the movie thread moves me to watch a film I might otherwise choose to miss, or the music thread has me spending more money than I can afford to spend on new tunes, I thought it would be nice to have a similar thread devoted to books. Not so much a book club discussion thread as a GET IT NOW or AVOID type of thread.

I just received my copy of No one belongs here more than you. by Miranda July, performance artist, writer and filmmaker, more widely known for her film Me, You and Everyone We Know (one of my favorites).

I read one of her short stories in the New Yorker a few months back and was completely taken with her writing. Her stories, borrowing Dave Eggers words from the back cover, are "incredibly charming, beautifully written, frequently laugh-out-loud funny, and even, a dozen or so times, profound."
