This settled it. Richard Russo deserves all the accolades there are to give.
I listened to Nobody's Fool on my iPod, and I only allowed myself to listen when running (incentive), which doesn't happen much in cold months.
Which means that Nobody's Fool was part of my life for a long, long time.
Yesterday, I came to the end just as I was finishing my run (on a beautiful, sunny, 70-degree day, I might add). I cried. What am I going to do without Sully in my life?
Sully is a guy who hogs bad luck. He takes whatever work he can get (when he can get it), but an arthritic knee and the worker's comp people determine to make that a difficult task. He lives in a small-town that loves him and hates him and loves to hate him and hates to love him.
Read the rest.
i'm a huge Russo fan. I'm still in the middle of Bridge of Sighs - have you read that one?
There are good things about living in Texas. If you're a runner, being able to run throughout the year is one of them.
However, to play my own devil's advocate, July and August are almost unbearable for outdoor exercise, especially in Houston, so it might be a wash.
I loved it too! He's just the ultimate underdog you can't help but root for him.
