The Corrections?

[Eddie Tomayko]

i'll throw my two cents in.

couldn't put it down in college.  i would sit at my job in the computer lab
and completely ignore the more timid students who would come up and just
stand next to me hoping i'd notice they had a question to ask of me about
some random aspect of microsoft office (this was my job in college).

however that was like 4 years ago and i barely remember anything about it.
yet i remember minute details of other books that struck me as amazing.

the book was good.  not phenomenal by any stretch.  but good.
