Yes, I loved “Cloud Cuckoo Land” too. So much so that I went out an bought the hardcover version (a rarity for me, as I have a limited budget). If you haven’t already read it, his earlier, Pulitzer Prize winning novel “All the Light We Cannot See” is also excellent.
I have Cloud Cuckoo Land on my shelf and haven't picked it up yet! My favorite of Doerr's is "Four Seasons in Rome." In it, he is living in Rome and doing research/writing for "All the Light".
I've read several of the Curmudgeon Lit books you mentioned and really enjoyed them. I have Dial A for Aunties on my TBR, I can't wait until I get to it.
Hi Shayne, thank you so much for this newsletter. You have opened my eyes to the joy of reading. I appreciate the information on all the books you featured here, so many good stories. I will try to find them in our local libraries. BTW, if you are ever in Washington DC, let me know; I live in Falls Church, you can stay with me. :-)
Awesome! Are you a member of the Market Street Writers Group with Lisa Colburn? I used to write with her and go on writing retreats with her. That was fun. :-)
