I cant reccomend a Franzen book, but maybe you want to start with the one about Fawn, hahah.See post #25 and her posts after that.

Just part of the service, ma’am.
I remember it because Franzen was huge and I worked with books back in the day, ya know. Kinda like if Mick
Jagger wrote a song about one of us here, wouldnt you remember that?
I miss Fawn and wonder how many things she owns now and is that book one of them?
“educated” caught me and I read it in 2 days. Sad but good.
I'm just finishing White Like Her, by Gail Lukasic--a sort of genealogical family mystery (NF).
Now I'm reading To the Bridge, about a Portland filicide a few years back. It's OK, but not particularly compelling so far.What a sad cast of characters.
Today I got some recommended here, some not:
The Cafe Cook Book
Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst
Lahiri's The Lowlands
Bluebird, Bluebird : A Novel
Genova Every Note Played
Love in a Time of Hate: The Story of Magda and Andre Trocme and the Village That Said No to the Nazis - this was not on my list but caught my eye because of an article in this month's Smithsonian about the tradition of French villagers helping refugees, which continues today
