Let Freedom Ring

It’s finally autumn. As soon as we’re done with mourning beach days and warm night breezes, we can start worshipping those fall nights when all you want to do is curl up with a mug of hot cider and a good book. One literary recommendation is the book of the season (it seems book releases have the tendency to mimic fashion trends), Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. It has been getting mostly glowing reviews from independent bloggers and the Guardian alike. Franzen’s story of surburban couple Patty and Walter Berglund is refreshingly contemporary, referencing marital strife and Bush-era politics; plus, Oprah chose it as her latest Book Club pick, and you can’t deny the power of Oprah. Hah!  Give it a read and tell us what you think!
