I just finished two small books about ordinary people...
Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan is just what it say; the last day and night of a Red Lobster as told through the perspective of the hard working diligent manager...

Ghost by Alan Lightman a story about a new worker in a Mortuary who has a vision while contemplating in the viewing room one day. It's a great story about life, unexpected turns and how people connect with one another...

Both books I would highly recommend...

But if you are on a budget, take the library for Lobster since it is a bit pricey at 19.95 for what is essentially a novella...

1. Ghost?
Sounds like my kind of book...

I'll look at Amazon since I won't be at Costco anytime soon...

Thanks for the reference!
