The Brief Wondorous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz
Well I did not finish it since it had to go back to the library before I had time to read the whole book. After about 1/2 of it, I'd say it was pretty interesting. It is about a family from the Dominican Republic who emigrated to America (the Bronx). It seemed mostly to be about the lives of the first generation kids in the family (Oscar and his sister). If I knew Spanish, that may have made the reading easier. I loved the D&D references - the sister was as hard as adamantine and someone was hurt badly, 6d10. It is not every Pulitzer Prize winner that has D&D-speak in it. If I can get it from the library again, I'd be interested in finishing it, but I am not driven to purchase it to finish it.
