    The Forgotten Waltz looks good. I read The Gathering years ago and am interested in seeing how Enright's writing has progressed. Enjoy!

    Its funny that you should mention Kurt Vonnegut as according to the I Write Like site this is the author that I write like.

    I'd like to read Vonnegut sometime and see what I think about his stuff. My son read one of his, and was pleasantly surprised. Great mailbox today!

      Glad your son liked Vonnegut, my daughter liked reading his books when she was in high school.

    I really want to read The Forgotten Waltz. I enjoyed The Gathering even though it was a slow read.

      Actually neither of her books got glowing reviews, yet they seem worthy of my limited time...LOL

    Both sound good. I like Vonnegut and want to read the biography but I have read mixed reviews on it.

    I know nothing about Vonnegut, so I'm curious about that one.

      Alyce, believe it or not, neither do I, but I have a few of his books and he almost seems like he has a cult following, so I'm intrigued.

    I have the Forgotten Waltz waiting for me - my Mom read it and reported that it is good. I heard the author speak at Symphony Space last year and it was really interesting to hear about what prompted her to write the book, etc.

    My husband read the Vonnegut bio and will be doing a guest review. He thought it was quite good, had some surprises and a few dry parts.
