2008 book 18

James Collins' Beginner's Greek
Getting raves all over the place, this is the story of a man who meets the woman of his dreams on a plane ride. When he loses her number, it seems likely to devolve into something totally predictable--his madcap antics trying to track her down, or something. But the second chapter throws a wrench into things, and another twist in chapter three made me wonder what on earth would happen next. Of course the end is totally inevitable and everything wraps up way too neatly, but it was a very sweet and very readable book. A-.
