Yes! I loved this book!! It veered dangerously close to chick-lit, but something saved it from getting quite that obnoxious. Maybe that it was just well-written enough? (I did have my moments of being fed up with the protagonist). Did every man I ever met go to J-school*? Is it a rule in the XY-chromosomes-training manual to coax what you want from a woman and then leave the dried-out hollow husk the way we girls might learn how to sew on a button and brown a roast? Oops--twenty-first-century correction--the way we girls might study how to be a titan of industry and double-cross your best friend? * Journalism school, Columbia in particular I also think this book demonstrated the virtues of me picking books based on the title, backed up by the first sentence. Because it wasn't until a subway ride or two that I realized that the author's name is MAMEVE MEDWED (and looked at the author photo, horrified). I'm sorry, MAMEVE MEDWED??!!!! I'd thought it was Maeve [something Irish], but MAMEVE MEDWED???? Screams made-up name. It's like some kind of a weird anagram. Also! I realized I don't think I actually told you what the book was about -- the protagonist takes a chamber pot she inherited from her mother onto Antiques Roadshow, where she finds out it could bring her fame and fortune -- but then a lawsuit follows over who truly owns the pot, instigated by the children of her mother's partner, who the protagonist grew up with (the venimous sister instigated it, the once love-of-protagonist's life brother waited in the shadows).

Room was an interesting read. Since I teach kindergarten right now, I found the various activities that Ma came up with to teach Jack interesting, though I have to admit to finding it a bit of a boring section of the book - granted, there is a certain kind of boredom that comes from interacting only with young children for a long period of time, so that did add a bit to the feel of the read. Narrating the book in Jack's voice was interesting, especially as it helped layer on the sense of Ma's struggle to find herself outside of her child. One thing that this book brings up, and Ma comments on it in the interview she does is that people react to the idea of a five year old being breastfed with a lot of disgust or discomfort - Ma asks why that is the part of this situation that people find strange. I've noticed in discussions about the book that readers have a similar negative response to the breastfeeding that seems to be stronger than their reaction to the kidnapping. I have to say, it disturbs me that so many people from Western cultures react in this way - after all, breastfeeding children that are older is not abnormal in all cultures and I strongly feel that it shouldn't be perceived as disgusting. It's too bad I didn't read the book for a book club because I think it would be more interesting to discuss than it was to read.
