Wally Lamb books
I am thinking or reading some. I had "I know that much is true" in mind. What do those among you who read it think about it ?

I really enjoyed I know that much is True when I read it about ten years ago.
I've been tempted to read another one at some point, but haven't taken the plunge. Maybe in 2014. Next year's list is already pretty full, but maybe I could fit another in. |

I enjoyed his Christmas novel Wishin' and Hopin' but from what I understand it isn't typical Lamb.

Add another vote for I Know This Much is True. I'm a sucker for works that flirt with "dark and quirky," but don't actually make the mistake of taking it to bed.
I own The Hour I first Believed but it's a big ol' honkin' hardcover from B.E. that's stuck in an unfortunate "I want to read it, but I don't really feel like hefting that monster -- nor do I want to buy it twice" state. Spoiler:

Thanks for the input, I think I'll give "I know this much is true" a try.
Not sure what attracts me to that book but I should find out ...
