Just finished Animal Vegetable Miracle and liked that also. Maybe I just like Barbara Kingsolver. On the other hand, I found a hard cover copy of A Confederacy of Dunces in a free box, and read it because of all the hype. Parts of it are pretty funny, but though I read it to the end, did not really enjoy it. Nor did I find The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time lived up to the glowing reviews.
