It took me a long time to read this book. 

Reason 1: It's short stories, so it was easy to out down and not feel an urgent need to pick up again. 

Reason 2: Although the stories were interesting and funny, it's just not the genre I'm into right now.

It was our faculty book club book for March - a meeting which never happened. When it was time for our meeting, I was only about a quarter of the way through the book. Shocking. It took me over a month to read it! Crazy.

But it is very good, and very sad, and very funny.
