Love and Other Possible Pursuits by Ayelet Waldman

I just finished this book yesterday, by Ayelet Waldman (who I learned after reading the book is married to Michael Chabon). I really, really enjoyed it. I had read a good review on Salon, so even though the subject matter sounded a bit like one of those icky depressing stories with a dramatic picture of a beautiful woman staring off forelornly on the beach, I picked it up. I thought it was just perfect; funny, beautiful, but mostly just realistic. The dialogue was real -- maybe the most realistic I've ever read.

Has anyone else had a chance to read Love and Other Possible Pursuits yet?

4. I gave the wrong name!

I just wrote back to you on the Travel board, too! Great minds!

I just wanted to clarify that it's called "love and other IMpossible pursuits". Eleny just pointed out my wrongness below your post. I don't have any idea why I had decided on possible pursuits as the title!

3. Yes WHOOPS!

Thanks for that! I'll try and edit the other post.

I have had it in my head that it was Possible Pursuits, but you're right! I did my goo-diligence (i just visited Urbandictionary.com) and sure enough. Impossible Pursuits.

5. She was interviewed last night on Bernie Ward's radio program

You can still hear it via the KGO station archives. http://www.kgoam810.com/listingsEntry.asp?ID=263588&PT=Archives

Click on the 10 P.M. hour. They keep the archives for 24 hours, so you'll have until tonight to listen.
