By Tom Perotta, the guy who wrote Election and something else I didn't recognize. More satire about current-day suburbia -- affairs, petty-mindedness, the mind-numbing rearing of children. Pretty biting, and just this side of too depressing.
Something about the fact that this was made into a movie put me off from reading the book, but a friend pressed it on me and J is still strolling through the 2nd Patrick O'Brian (am I really going to read this series for a THIRD time??) so I picked up the Perotta. And raced through it in two days. Nicely done, with a great ending.
