Updike is very intriguing but I feel that he is a bit of an acquired habit.<br /><br />@Diane - Thanks a lot and welcome here :-)<br /><br />@Nishita - Exactly! They do indeed seem to portray exactly that.

You might even like it!<br /><br />@Avi - Thanks :)<br /><br />@Whitney - Thanks! I have always been a sucker for happy endings but trying to diversify now :) I am sure you will like this one.<br /><br />@Mrs. B - Thanks a lot and welcome here! Do give the rabbit books a try :)<br /><br />@Pavi - Haha thanks :) It took a while for me to like this book but I do sort of like it now! There is always at least one redeemable quality in every book ..<br /><br />@Shweta - You are right about dislikeable personalities. Give these Rabbit books a try :)<br /><br />@Hannah - Thanks a lot! I wasn't aware of the Updike Tom Wolfe rift, in fact I don't know anything at all about John Updike! Should wiki him, thanks for the info!Vaishnavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829055456233904866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128981764377530442.post-83475498467961708852010-04-04T07:55:59.030-07:002010-04-04T07:55:59.030-07:00There's actually a series of these books.

I have never read any John Updike - and the only thing that I really know about him is that he is alleged to be pretty acerbic and that he had some kind of dispute with Tom Woolf....
