Little Children – Tom Perrotta
This one surprised me. I wanted to read something outside the hard SF genre, something about everyday modern existence and struggle in suburbia. A lot of the “list mania” reading lists in Amazon.com pointed me to this book.
The story is about a number of characters going about their lives suburban Boston. And like all of us, their internal thoughts and feelings can differ greatly with the persona the public sees. It seems a mundane topic, but I identified with the thoughts and of at least a few characters in here. In the end it turned to be a satisfying read, affirming that the bulk of society is just as lost and clueless about this life as I am.
