Just as a suggestion for anyone looking for a good book to read: read Galore by Michael Crummey. When I first looked at it (to read for this class) I thought it would be ridiculous and perhaps boring and stupid. Boy was I wrong. I really enjoyed Galore. I read it really quickly, not wanting to miss a beat. It was really compelling and interesting. All the lives intermingled with the lore of Newfoundland. Michael Crummey was just as interesting at the reading. He was also very funny and read what I thought were the more important parts of the novel at his reading last week. I look forward to reading his other two novels: River Thieves, and Wreckage.
