This does look very ambitious, but I guess you're used to reading a lot more than I am. I've read Shopgirl twice. I adore Steve Martin's writing.I'm reading Suite Francaise, and have Edgar Sawtelle, Outliers and People of the Book on top of the pile to read next. Knowing me, I may just end up reading Shopgirl again. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you and yours! Have you read Steve Martin's Born Standing Up? You must read it -- it is an excellent memoir, and all about his growth as an entertainer.
