Best Adult Fiction of the Month: Fieldwork by Mischa Berlinski.

Best (Only) Nonfiction of the Month: Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. I just finished reading thisone, long after everyone has been there, done that. And I was prepared to NOT like it, to find it shallow and silly, just on the basis of an impression I had from reading someone else’s thoughts about the book (I don’t remember whose.). It’s not really shallow or silly, and it made me think, the highest compliment I can give a book. Review-ish thoughts coming soon.
