Booker craze

That is weird about the shortage of books. I was pleasantly surprised to find Mr. Pip at the discount Barnes and Noble and a used copy of On Chesil Beach at our local used bookstore. Since I highly doubt that Memphis has a better stocked book universe than St. Louis, it must be that a Booker craze has swept your arched city while Memphis has decided to stick with barbecue. So I've read On Chesil Beach and am part of the way through Mr. Pip, but I suggest we move "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" up to the third book in the series. I'll look for it next. I guess that would have happened anyway since Ms. Parker-Barker's book is not readily available in the US just yet.

I'm going to post my first thoughts on "On Chesil Beach" soon. I'll put "spoiler warning" in the title, I wouldn't read the post until you've read the book...no sense spoiling a good ending :)
