Did you enjoy A Libertarian Walks Into A Bear? It's on my TBR, and I very nearly sent a copy to my Dad for Christmas, but I think I want to read it first.

I too have been putting off A Suitable Boy! My bff loves it, and I'm sure I will, but I know it will take me /forever/ to finish ("A Fine Balance" took four months, and my reading pace has slowed since).
