The Beginner's Goodbye, Anne Tyler: Anne is one of my all-time favorites, but this book didn't really grab me as much as her others. As always, it features a quirky family. A bit predictable.
Mister Pip, Lloyd Jones: Liked this one a lot. Man finds himself teaching kids on a South Pacific Island during political crisis. Reads Great Expectations to them, which they love. Invites parents to school to talk about whatever they know. Makes the best of every challenging situation. Very nice. Qualified for a big literary award or two.
Robot and Frank: Feelgood movie about elderly burgular and robot valet. Kinda fun. Kinda like made-for-TV.
