I love Books....Again...

Maybe it is the cold weather or the time I get by myself in my car waiting to pick the kids up from school, but book reading has come back into my life once again! My friend Cynthia also had a part in this because she let me borrow a book and I really enjoyed it and kept the reading train going! Here are a few books I have been reading.

This book literally made me laugh out loud! It was very witty and catching and had me not wanting to put it down. Which all equal a good book. It is about a man who has a series of unfortunate events happen to him. One very big one, in which his Father passes away and he has to go back home and be around his crazy family while dealing with all the ups and downs of his life. It was a very good book.

 

"Often sidesplitting, mostly heartbreaking...[Tropper is] a more sincere, insightful version of Nick Hornby, that other master of male psyche." --USA Today

The death of Judd Foxman's father marks the first time that the entire Foxman clan has congregated in years. There is, however, one conspicuous absence: Judd's wife, Jen, whose affair with his radio- shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. Simultaneously mourning the demise of his father and his marriage, Judd joins his dysfunctional family as they reluctantly sit shiva-and spend seven days and nights under the same roof. The week quickly spins out of control as longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed and old passions are reawakened. Then Jen delivers the clincher: she's pregnant.

This Is Where I Leave You is Jonathan Tropper's (One Last Thing Before I Go) most accomplished work to date, and a riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind-whether we like it or not.

This book was a little slow at first, but it definitely got better. I like an ending to a book that makes me smile and this ended like that. It is about an aging rocker who was in a band with a one hit wonder. He finds out he has to have life saving surgery, but isn't exactly sure he wants to have it and continue with his pitiful life. There were some definite tear jerker parts to this book. I liked the previous book a little better, but this one is very good too.

 

 

The bestselling author of This Is Where I Leave You returns with a hilarious and heart-rending tale about one family's struggle to reconnect.

You don’t have to look very hard at Drew Silver to see that mistakes have been made. His fleeting fame as the drummer for a one-hit wonder rock band is nearly a decade behind him. He lives in the Versailles, an apartment building filled almost exclusively with divorced men like him, and makes a living playing in wedding bands. His ex-wife, Denise, is about to marry a guy Silver can’t quite bring himself to hate. And his Princeton-bound teenage daughter Casey has just confided in him that she’s pregnant—because Silver is the one she cares least about letting down.

So when he learns that his heart requires emergency, lifesaving surgery, Silver makes the radical decision to refuse the operation, choosing instead to use what little time he has left to repair his relationship with Casey, become a better man, and live in the moment, even if that moment isn't destined to last very long. As his exasperated family looks on, Silver grapples with the ultimate question of whether or not his own life is worth saving.

With the wedding looming and both Silver and Casey in crisis, this broken family struggles to come together, only to risk damaging each other even more. One Last Thing Before I Go is Jonathan Tropper at his funny, insightful, heartbreaking best.
