The song “Once in a Lifetime” immediately came to mind when you mentioned “Same as it Ever Was.” 😀 Lev Grossman’s new book looks intriguing.I keep checking to see when Jonathan Franzen’s follow up to “Crossroads” is coming out as I am anxiously awaiting its release.
I love big books too. They're MORE of everything I love in a smaller book - more time spent with the characters, in the world, following the plot. What's not to love? :)
