If you're an Atheist, what comforts you?

I've just put holds Sapiens and In the Darkroom.  I enjoyed the Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao; what else has he written that you liked?

This Is How You Lose Her and Drown are also both good; they are short story collections.

Side note - I bought a book at the Berkeley book festival when I saw you and Lia called Wanderlust, A History of Walking. I'm finally reading that one at the moment too!

Thanks.  I just finished reading a couple of great books by John Irving, The World According to Garp and before that The Cider House Rules.  I liked them both but maybe Cider House rules a little more.  I've decided two of my main orders of business are getting to the Y more days than not and reading all the great books I can before I croak.  

By the way, I've just decided to bring my niece and a friend of hers to see Wicked in December down in L.A.  Hopefully Lia can come too so I don't get played too badly.     The same play will be in Fresno for a week in March.  Have you ever seen it?  I think your daughter and you would really enjoy seeing it together.  I guess you know it is twist on the Wizard of Oz story.
