(Zoom in)

I finished the most wonderfully quirky book yesterday called The Cheese Monkeys: A Novel in Two Semesters. (I heard about it from here.) I'm in love with it. It tickled me pink, in fact. It was funny, hysterical at points, poignant, heartwarming and most of all, quirky. The narration is the best, and I love Chip Kidd for it. Plus, the book is nicely designed as Chip Kidd is a graphic designer himself: nice margins and yes! The font changes from Apollo to Bodoni in the middle of the book when we meet the life-altering teacher, Winter Sorbeck.

It really is a great book and it's become a favorite of mine. I found myself identifying with the main character a lot, and it made me smile. After I return the book to the library, I'm heading straight to the bookstore to buy it.
