God damn you Richard Yates. You are so depressing. And so, so good. Cold Spring Harbor made* me smash my personal best for Number of Easter Eggs Eaten in One Sitting.
4/5
* real readers know that books can ‘make’ you do things you might not ordinarily do…. such as eat Easter eggs like potato chips.
Love it. There’s nothing like smashing a PB!
Not got a Choc egg PB myself. But reading Ian Rankin usually does two joint PB’s for me – tubes of Smarties eaten in 24 hours and number of E additives consumed! Leaves me hyper for days!
Indeed he is. Revolutionary Road nearly did me in.
(Off topic, but important about eating too much of something: I just discovered basil buttercream frosting on chocolate cake. I wasn’t living before, obviously.)
Why hasn’t basil buttercream been in my life yet?
Yes they definitely can. I’ve only read ‘Revolutionary Road’ of his but that took my breath away. I might have to replenish my Easter egg supply and then try this one.
Revolutionary Road is a killer – I had it slated as a re-read this year but not sure if I can… Might leave it until next Easter 😉
I’ve read a few Yates now and find that G & T’s seem to hit the spot 🙂
