The Brothers K by David James Duncan

5.0

This is my all time favorite book! Its setting is local and I laughed and cried throughout my first reading. I planned to spend the last couple weeks of my first pregnancy re-reading it to pass the time, but my son came early and I didn't get to. I had a copy of my own and loaned it. In 2004 I took a copy to Tibet, and cherish the memory of reading bits of it aloud at nomad camp, and stumbling across a mention of Tibet. The parts that were appropriate had my 7 and 9 year old sons laughing. We spent 4 weeks with family, and lots of hours stretched by with a satisfying reread!
