4. Richard Russo's "Nobody's Fool".

Yes, it was novel before it was that GREAT movie with Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy, et al.

Also a lot of stuff about Irish history... including Thomas Keneally's The Great Shame. Amazing how many similarities there are between that experience ( subjugation and dehumanization by a foreign power) and the AA experience here - post slavery, and in ...I guess ... every group that has been colonized and/or marginalized.

A lot of stuff I didn't know.
