![]() OMG I love the Buddy books. Being born and raised in RI, I am used to the colorful political scene and love hearing the Buddy take on things. I like the Federal Hill stories too. I miss my people.

I am someone who constantly thirsts for understanding and knowledge about other cultures and religions. So, currently, I am reading The Book of Mormon. There is a nice young man at work who is Mormon, and he is very open in talking about his faith, even knowing that there is no way that I would ever be influenced by it.

Have any of you ever heard of Lucia Perillo?
She's a Pacific Northwest author who lives in the state of Washington and I came across a book of hers, the other night, which I plan to purchase next week - since I couldn't find a copy of it at the library. The title of her book is: Happiness is a Chemical in the Brain (2012). Here's a book review (LINK) Here's a brief excerpt of her writing from chapter 1 (Bad Boy Number Seventeen): ....."I think he's funny," she says in that woofy voice of hers. "I think he's cute. I think that boy wants to be my boyfriend."Book Description Publication Date: May 7, 2012 A stunning debut from an award-winning poet. Populating a small town in the Pacific Northwest, the characters in Lucia Perillo’s story collection all resist giving the world what it expects of them and are surprised when the world comes roaring back. An addict trapped in a country house becomes obsessed with vacuum cleaners and the people who sell them door-to-door. An abandoned woman seeks consolation in tales of armed robbery told by one of her fellow suburban housewives. An accidental mother struggles to answer her daughter’s badgering about her paternity. And in three stories readers meet Louisa, a woman with Down syndrome who serves as an accomplice to her younger sister’s sexual exploits and her aging mother’s fantasies of revenge. Together, Happiness Is a Chemical in the Brain is a sharp-edged, witty testament to the ambivalence of emotions, the way they pull in directions that often cancel one another out or twist their subjects into knots. In lyrical prose, Perillo draws on her training as a naturalist and a poet to map the terrain of the comic and the tragic, asking how we draw the boundaries between these two zones. What’s funny, what’s heartbreaking, and who gets to decide? ![]()
