I have to say first that I love Garrison Keillor so I didn’t even preview this book, I just bought it without even knowing what it was about. (By the way, check it out on Saturday nights on NPR; that would be radio, usually in the 80s or 90s on your FM dial: “Prairie Home Companion” An extremely hilarious, old-fashioned radio show.)  I read this book on the way to, and during, a business trip to Canada earlier this year 2008.

You absolutely can’t go wrong with a book whose first line of the first chapter is: “Evelyn was an insomniac so when they say she died in her sleep, you have to question that.” So funny! My kind of funny anyway. This book is full of life, death, sarcasm, family issues, morbid humor, sex, and life after death. You won’t be able to put it down, you’re going to love it.

Curl up and get lost in Lake Wobegon…I try to, every chance I get.
