Shipping News was fantastic-I read it years ago. saw the movie as well which was very good, but the book (as usual) was better ..

And Randi: did you hear about the Swedish book by Jonas Jonasson: The centenarian who jumped out the window and disppeared? It is the funniest read I had for a long time. Anarchist, subversive and funny! John would have loved it.

Thanks Barbara, I searched in the library database, but didn't find the one you mention. However, there's one by the same author. It is a humorous story about Allan Karlsson of sound mind, who flees at his 100th birthday from his retirement home in the Swedish province where adventure, strange beings, criminal types, and dramatic events await. That's probably quite funny.

I'll check out Thunder Dog, too. Thanks.
