Rabbit at Rest by John Updike

4.0

Many years ago I had tried to read one of the earlier Rabbit books and didn't like it. The only reason I picked this one up is that it won the Pulitzer, and I'm trying to read all the Pulitzer fiction winners. And it was VERY good! The only thing that was a bit disturbing is that it starts out being the story of this somewhat elderly man who spends half the year in Florida playing golf and worrying about his weight and his health, only to discover that he is 55! I was thinking he had to be 75. It was hard for me to wrap my head around him being so young and so old at the same time.
