this week's book: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
I'm only 75 pages into it, but I can't recommend this book enough!
Nine-year old Oskar Schell has embarked on an urgent, secret mission that will take him through the five burroughs of New York. His goal is to find the lock that matches a mysterious key that belonged to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11. This seemingly impossible task will bring Oskar into contact with survivors of all sorts on an exhilarating, affecting, often hilarious, and ultimately healing journey.
"Foer is definitely a new sort of literary warrior - virtuosic, visionary, ingenious, hilarious, heartbreaking. He brings an astonishing array of firepower to the page."

This book is amazing!
I love the way that he delves into the untouched realm of writing through the soul...not that writing from the soul hasn’t been done–just that it hasn’t been done like this.
It is incredibly unique and extremely stirring.
I loved it!
But I have had too much to drink–and now I feel like shiitake.
