Not that we have a current reading list, but if we did, we'd add these 3 titles to it.
Are we sure we didn't write these?
"Virgil comes home from work one day to a message on his answering machine-his girlfriend is breaking up with him. This news should be devastating, but instead it's deeply troubling, because Virgil doesn't know the woman and doesn't have any memory of being in a relationship with her. The event sends Virgile into a tailspin of unrelenting self-analysis, causing him to question his memory, his sanity, even his worth as a lover."
AWKWARD
And, because we love appalling behavoir...
"EVEN MORE PUBLIC APOLOGIES--
AND THE APPALLING BEHAVIOR THAT INSPIRED THEM"
This book needs no explanation.
"Every now and then, right in the middle of an ordinary day, a woman rebels, kicks up her heels, and commits a small act of liberation.What would you do, if you were going to break out and away? Go AWOL from Weight Watchers and spend an entire day eating every single thing you want-and then some? Start a dating service for people over fifty to reclaim the razzle-dazzle in your life-or your marriage? Seek comfort in the face of aging, look for love in the midst of loss, find friendship in the most surprising of places?
Imagine that the people in these wonderful stories-who do all of these things and more-are asking you: What would you do, if nobody was looking?"
