marilynne robinson's gilead
this novel is a letter that a dying pastor is writing to his young son, detailing his life and family history and his complicated relationship with his best friend's son, who happens to be his namesake. but you know what? nothing i can say to explain it will really get to the heart of what a great book it is, so next time you're at a bookstore, pick it up and flip through it, and if it seems appealing, you should read it. i'd give it five coffee-drinking bunnies, or whatever my ratings scale is.

haha yay for coffee-drinking, star-gazing bunnies! I think the downside to such a metric is that giving a something like a "3 and a half" score, or any non-whole unit of measure, is kind of gruesome. (MIke)
maybe the half can be a bunny who isn't drinking coffee. his spilled on the ground.
