I got an email from my boss today saying that one of my favorite authors William Boyd had emailed her thanking us for the great sales on his new book Any Human Heart. She apparently replied and told him about the staff recommendation that I wrote for it when it came out in hardcover last year. How cool is that? Its nice to know that authors appreciate their readers. Everyone should check out his books though. I loved Any Human Heart, which is the ‘diary’ of Logan Mountstuart. We follow him from age 17 all the way to old age. Its fascinating as he goes through all the ups and downs that everyone experiences. I liked that there was no plot or even pinnacle in this book. Rather, it’s like a true autobiography, charting one’s course. Antother book of his to check out is An Ice Cream War. Also fabulous.
