"Mrs. Bridge" *
* once famous character of Evan Connell ... humorous, but they are lovely quiet family stories:
Wish You Were Here by Stewart O'Nan
Mr. Bridge and Mrs. Bridge by Evan Connell--2 related novels
Mary and O'Neil by Justin Cronin--interrelated stories of one extended family.
See you after the 1st! I'm not exactly a James Patterson fan, but I am a fan of Mrs. Bridge and was happy to see his nod to Evan Connell on the NPR interview that I read online. I plan to reread both Mr. and Mrs. Bridge in 2010...maybe with the Missouri Readers group which, btw, anyone can join if something we are ... >167 I did not mean to suggest that Mrs. Bridge was anything except very, very different from what Patterson writes. I haven't read it yet but it's been on my TBR list for some time and I think I will be moving it up now. ... offense! I think the surprise was that Patterson, best known for action-packed thrillers, picked a more literary book like Mrs. Bridge to read from for the program. Obviously, he liked it very much! I never read it or saw the movie. Maybe I should look it up sometime . . . Not to offend anyone, but I really liked Mrs. Bridge. In fact Mrs. Bridge and its companion book Mr. Bridge are on my list of desert island books. However, since I read them a long time ago, that may change--I plan a reread soon. I loved the way the author was able to get into the minds of ... ... "You Must Read This" segment and you'd expect he would have chosen an edge of your seat murder mystery but no he picked Mrs. Bridge a very innocuous little book that centers around family life. Apparently he has a degree in English literature and it was always thought that he would write ... Son of the Morning Star by Evan Connell Yes and Yes to both books. I would love to reread Mr. Bridge and Mrs. Bridge by Evan Connell about life in Kansas City in the 1940's. Two separate books, but could probably be read in the same month and discussed together. These books were combined into a wonderful movie with Paul Newman ... Mrs. Bridge by Evan S. Connell #55 Mrs. Bridge ~ Evan S. Connell

Just finished Stoner. Very good. Hard to put down. It reminded me a little of Evan S. Connell's Mr. Bridge and Mrs. Bridge (also set in Missouri).
