(I'm slightly ahead of the curve, as I just received it as a birthday gift.) But the cool thing is that more people will read this book you recommended! (Maybe Oprah reads or listens to Books on the Nightstand?) Laura Michael,

Tear-jerker, but wonderful! I hate readers block (thanks for the name--it is dictionary worthy!) Sometimes I end up starting 5 books and finishing none until something comes along that grabs me. Unfortunately, I almost never finish the others I've started-they've been tarred with the "blah" brush... Loved Edgar, loved Guernsey, have you read “The Art of Racing in the Rain?”

I prefer to read a few others, preferably of other genres or non-fiction books, in between. That way, the great author is approached freshly every time, for maximum enjoyment, and the fullest benefit and understanding of the fine author's ideas and themes.

Forgive the single reply to you all: Laura, I think you're right. I don't allow myself enough palate cleansers! I need to make that a mid-year resolution. So glad you're enjoying GUERNSEY Thomas! Thanks for listening and reading the blog. Ann, as I mentioned in a previous podcast, I do the opposite when I find an author I love... I purposely leave one or two books unread by each author I love so that there's always something there for me in case they stop writing. But I understand your perspective and thanks so much for sharing it! EDGAR did make me want to do nothing but read, Vickie, but my wife and son had other plans for me! :) Thanks for all of the great comments everyone. Forgive the single reply to you all:
