Bookish.
I am currently reading this...
Apparently I'm a little behind the curve on this one. Many people I know have read it.
So have many people I don't know.
Last week I was sitting in a coffee shop doing some writing, and had the book sitting on my table. It caught the eye of a stranger who had read it. She asked if I was enjoying it.
"Yeah. A lot," was my response.
So, what about you folk? Have you too beaten me to the punch on Blue Like Jazz? Don't give away the ending or anything, but feel free to expound on anything it brought up.
I'll probably be sharing my thoughts on it some day soon.
P.S. I realize that this book doesn't really have a suspensful ending that could actually be ruined, but you know what I mean. Smiley face here.

Domo Arigato,

Hey Emily!
Thanks for the tip. I'm usually not much of a highlighter, more of a slow reader really. I'm glad you liked it. Seems to be the trend with most people who have read it.
Later,
Nate
Haven't finished it yet, but it is kind of fascinating that the author seems to be quite a left-winger. It seems that most Christian-themed books are by right-wing conservatives. Just my little two-cents worth. Actually . . . make it more like a penny . . . and a farthing. But NO DEUTCH MARKS.
Loving the book, though.
