Douglas Coupland is one of my favorite authors and Eleanor Rigby ranks among my top 3 of his books. This is an intriguing story of a lonely woman who is soon reunited with someone from her past that leads her on a strange journey of building relationships she hadn't imagined, pushing her beyond her small condo and mediocre career. Filled with wit and unxpected surprises, Eleanor Rigby is a fun, quirky read that kept me wanting more.

I love Christie and was looking for something a little different from Poirot and Marple when I stumbled upon The Mysterious Mr. Quin, and loved it. This book is a collection of several short stories told from the perspective of Mr. Sattherwaite, an elderly English gentleman who is more akin to witnessing the dramas of others' live than taking on the main role. Then Mr. Harley Quin enters and helps prompt Sattherwaite into beoming a key character himself as he figures out the unsolved mysteries of the aristocratic and artisitc circles he keeps as company. Each short story has its share of twists and wit we've all come to expect from the Queen of Mystery, Agatha Christie.

My wife is a big fan of Beverly Lewis' adult fiction (normally focusing on Amish life) so when we saw this we decided to order it to read with our kids. My daughter (Age 5) loves reading it. Included in this mystery are a series of coded clues, which we have fun trying to solve everytime we re-read this children's chapter book. Also tied in is a great lesson on the value of friendship.
