I kept hearing how funny Keillor is? To whom? Funny is: Carl Hiaasen, Jennifer Crusie, Christopher Moore, Elmore Leonard, Janet Evanovich, et. al., not Keillor.

This was awful & boring: Brothers Ray & Roy own a restaurant which they partially convert into a radio Station, WLT. Ray, although married, is a womanizer. Roy is mostly an inventor & farmer. The book revolves around WLT, its owners, those who work there, & the programs.

300+ pages of boring... ( )

Read during Fall 2003

I was rather dissapointed with this one. WLT features in a few of the previous stories I had read. This begins with the start of WLT (a radio station in Minneapolis) and eventually becomes the story of Francis With/Frank White. However, I was not amused by all the crude sexual references and the whole story just lost interest for me. I think this one will go into the BookCrossing pile.

I bought this book in an airport shop, and read it on the plane. It was a bit of a problem, as I had to struggle not to laugh out loud and disturb the people nearby.

Listened to an audio version of this read by Garrison Keillor. I could listen to him for hours on end. His voice lent such a warm feel to the story, I'm not sure that a reading would do as well as the audio.The way that Keillor build his characters makes them a believable as if they were friends of your own.

I learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live that life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to estabish themselves around and within him. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where thy should be. Now put the foundations under them.
--Henry Thoreau, Walden
