This is the Story of a Happy Marriage by Ann Patchett. "[Marriage as metaphor] Patchett has devoted her life to the people and ideals she loves the most." Author photo has her in bookstore digging through boxes.

Snoopy wrote to Miss Helen Sweetstory on April 9, 1971. In 2008, Will Heinrich said about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, "To call the dialogue wooden would be an insult to longbows and violins. An yet, I had no trouble finishing the book - on the contrary, I raced through it, even while I disliked it, and myself for reading it."
Death of Santini: the story of a father and his son by pat Conroy. If you read the book or saw the movie you know Conroy's fahter was a jerk-and-a-half. Conroy's dad did not mind the result, he traveled with Conroy to book signings and was happy to sign autographs. Here is something I just learned from the book, Pat Conroy has had some awful haircuts over the past 40 years.
