We&#8217;ve started out the book with a dead (of natural causes) body (which two pre-teen girls are going to bury in the garden), so it definitely catches you.<\/p>\n<p><em>Modern Lovers<\/em> has appeared on every summer reading list I&#8217;ve seen this year and focuses on a group of college friends in their forties. How could I, in the year of my 20th reunion from college not at least give it a shot? I&#8217;m looking forward to getting started on it tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>(Apologies for the glare-filled shot.
