Book #38 in 2015

The Christmas Wedding by James Patterson and RIchard DiLallo.

Ridiculous premise that matriarch Gaby will marry on Christmas Day, but will not reveal the identity of the groom until that time, even to the groom himself.  She has three suitors eager to marry her and will apparently put up with this silly idea.

Book also introduces many characters in the form of Gaby's 4 children, their spouses, and children, as well as friends and townsfolk.

However, it was a quick, easy read.  So, maybe like beach reading, but in the winter.

3 stars.

Book #37 in 2015 (Audio)

To Rise Again at a Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris.  Read by Campbell Scott.

10 hours.

Some has stolen Paul O'Rourke, DDS's identity.  Why?

I enjoyed the discussions Paul had with his staff and the impact his father's suicide had on him.  I found the religious stuff kind of tedious.  Maybe if it had been in written form, I could have just skimmed those passages and would have given the book an extra 1/2 star.

3.5 stars.
