Speaking of Ann Patchett, have you read Bel Canto and/or The Patron Saint of Liars? The former is delicious, and the latter is on my docket (I've also got No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July...gorgeous hardcover that I treated myself to yesterday!).

I haven't read either of those Patchett books, but they are both on my list. If you enjoy her books, you should read truth & beauty. It's a memoir about one of her closest friendships. It's really good and she talks about writing her books, which is what has made me really want to read them all!

Owen Meany is my favorite book, you know.

Of course I remember. I was hoping you'd see this post!
