#33: Further Joy

Further Joy by John Brandon was the first book I received from my McSweeny's bookclub membership.  This was a series of short stories.  Most of the characters in the stories weren't on the right track in their lives, either from career problems, social issues, breakups, etc.  I liked some of the stories better than others.  Some at the beginning were a little predictable, but others were open for interpretation.  The one thing I don't like about short stories is that they sometimes just end without a conclusion to the story and leave you wanting more.
My favorites in this book were probably Palatka and The Inland News.

Up Next:  What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman
