I'm already well into The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman. It's a speedy read, and it came recommended by my old boss. He thought the quirky stories about a newspaper would suit me, and he's right. It reminds me of my short-lived days as a news journalist. These days, I'm far gone from those nobly intended days to do good in print. I still remember them fondly, and I still am a news junkie.
Those brief years, even while young, did give me enough of a taste of newsrooms to appreciate Rachman's fictional newsroom, inspired by his own reporting days. It's proving a nostalgic read that way, although the characters are a entertaining, frustrating mess so far. Review to come!
