I read A Primer for the Punctuation of Heart Disease from this book and not the extracts from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close as I had already read that book. JSF's quirky view of the world and apparent honesty and writing talent continues to floor me whilst leaving me enviously amused, with a broad smile on my face. A great book if you only have a small amount of time to pass and would like to thoroughly enjoy that time. ( )
