As part of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, I'm giving away a paperback UK-version (NOT Claudius's very own 10th birthday copy) of Jonathan Franzen's Freedom. And, because my daughter waltzed through customs in the Moscow airport without any difficulty Friday afternoon carrying her own just-purchased copy of Freedom (which kinda blows my raised-during-the-Cold-War mind), the drawing for this one's worldwide.
Contest runs through September 24. I'll draw a name on Saturday, September 25. The winner will have until October 1 to send me his/her address, or else this Freedom's forfeited.
Happy BBAW, everyone!

". . . maybe it’s just me—but when I connect with a good book, often by somebody dead, and they are telling me a story that seems true, and they are telling me things about myself that I know to be true, but I hadn’t been able to put together before—I feel so much less alone than I ever can sending e-mails or receiving texts. . . . That’s how I perceive my mission as a writer—and particularly as a novelist—is to try to provide a bridge from the inside of me to the inside of somebody else."
--Jonathan Franzen, interview with Gregg LaGambina

Just wanted to say hi--no need to drop my name in the virtual hat as my library has this on order and as I will be paying for it and it will cross my desk first I guess I get first dibs on it. Should I grab it or read The Corrections first?
