It didn't last long! My first book from the list arrived in the mail today - The Assistant by Bernard Malamud.
"Frank Alpine is a troubled, somewhat desperate, handsome Italo-American from the West Coast-a man with a difficult past and a strong urge to be somebody. He works long hours in the grocery store of a struggling Jewish family in a declining Brooklyn neighborhood. And he is falling in love with his employer's attractive daughter, whose own hungers have not been satisfied by another man"
I'm excited to start reading the first stepping stone on my road to literary enlightenment ;)
