And I’ll bet when the Pulitzers come out in April, you’ll be smiling (at least about how far ahead of the curve you were even if you don’t love the book).

My predictions have fallen wide of mark this year, but “This Republic of Suffering” was a deserving finalist for the National Book Award. And I’ll be surprised if it’s not at least a finalist for the Pulitzer (and possibly also the National Book Critics Circle Award for general nonfiction, the shortlist for which will appear in late January and I’llpost on this site).

I’m also hoping to read “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” as for some reason it passed me by when I was younger and I’ve always been curious about it. Congrats on finishing one of your books and getting nearer to the light :)

Thank you so much for all your kind comments in 2008. Have you found a wonderful book that you’re planning to read over the holidays?

Embarrassingly enough, I haven’t, because I still have two books out that I’m planning to review within the next week or so. One is “WordPress for Dummies,” which I’m hoping (intensely) will help me keep my New Year’s resolution of working out some of the technical glitches on this site.

Happy Holidays!
Jan

Oh no! This line made me laugh — have you gotten back into their good graces since then?
