Just finished reading The Good Father by Noah Hawley, which was excellent, and unusual; the story of a father, a successful upper middle class doctor, whose son from his first marriage assassinates a popular Presidential candidate. The book mainly describes all the mental acrobatics this guy performs to keep from facing the facts: his son did do this evil thing, and he did it alone. The quality of the writing makes this book worthwhile.

A sad note, as of yesterday -- Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451, died at age 91. Along with everything else, the man obviously loved librarians. The ALA or someone should find out the name of that early librarian that turned him on to books when he was little and institute some kind of annual prize in her name, like the Booker or the Christie -- a prize for librarians!
