I randomly grabbed the next book from one of the two bins of books I brought along in the back of my pick-up and came out with Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer. Thanks to recommendations from my buddy Jason, who reads something like 300 books/year and often encouraged me to read when I badly needed that encouragement, which is to say my entire life until a couple of months ago, I’d read his previous Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I enjoyed them both very much so I was only slightly intimidated by this latest book’s 571 pages.
