Oh - how nice to hear about your experience with A Man Called Ove - my book club is doing that soon, and I have a similar pre-read feeling. And meeting Gore Vidal - so cool! (I love his essays. Will have to check out that series.) Great shelfies!
Hello Komet, it's nice to learn more about you! I've enjoyed your reviews for quite a while -- I especially appreciate that you always try to put the book being reviewed into context, be it historically, or in terms of the author, or whatever else.
