I just finished Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. Katie had recommended this book to me in the past, and it made her list of her favorite books of all time. (We both made a list for Tiffany who requested "Must Read" lists from both of us. I'll be sure to post those lists as well.) Anyway, the book is about 9/11 and normally I would hate anything sentimental or sappy. But this book was amazing. It follows a little boy who finds a mysterious key in his father's closet. (His father died on 9/11.) The key is in an envelope that says Black on it. He goes on a door to door journey though New York City trying to find the lock that matches this key. He visits almost every Black in the phonebook. The book is filled with photographs and pictures Oskar sees during this journey. So good...check it out.
