I'm just starting "Canada", by Richard Ford.

I'm only about 40 pages in.
I looked on google reviews, they were all good of course.
I'm hoping he picks up the pace a little.
Has anyone else read it ? What were your thoughts about it ?

I'm halfway now and it's much better then I thought it was going to be.
I had to keep reminding myself that he is writing this about his childhood, as an adult.
(I'm not giving anything away, it says this at the beginning, I just forgot).
Hope you get your copy soon and enjoy.
