I can't decide if I like this better than The Corrections, but Franzen has once again produced a gem that by size is intimidating but by all accounts is brilliant. Any person can find some way to relate to this book, as it runs the gamut of human experiences and is highly relevant to our times.

Powell's City of Books is an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon, that fills a whole city block with more than a million new, used, and out of print books. Shop those shelves — plus literally millions more books, DVDs, and eBooks — here at Powells.com.
