I am one lucky reader, two books in a row, great literature.  The second was this one, THE WONDEROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO by Junot Diaz, hey, it won the Pulitzer Prize, nuf, said.  This is the story of Oscar and really his family, immigrants, and their struggles with life.  Just marvelous prose, lots of Spanish, but if I can deal with it, so can you.  Great read, great literature.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
