This is the best book so far this year.

Jonathan Franzen describes despair and hope and resentment and love better than any writer I can remember....

I Never Had It Made

The first half was the good half. Jackie Robinson put up with some major shit to make the racial integration of baseball work.
The second half is more about his post-baseball career and how he was an activist for the NAACP.

A really funny semi-retelling of King Lear. Every time I finish one of his books I immediately start wondering when Christopher Moore's next book will be out.
