The Bartender's Tale, which I very much enjoyed--more than Last Bus to Wisdom. Enthusiast, I hope Ms. E enjoys the characters in The Bartender's Tale as much as I did.

Downloaded Andrew Ervin's book, Burning Down George Orwell's House from the library and got hooked immediately. I had put it on my wish list based on a review I read in Book Notes. There was a review in the NY TImes but I didn't read more than a few lines as it appears to give away the whole story and I'd like for it to unfold before my eyes. I'll go back and read the review after I've read the book.

Happy reading, friends!
