And you thought building fences wasn’t entertaining
(Alright after reading this – some of you will still think so)

I really really enjoyed this book. I got this at the discount book store by St. Albert’s in North Tonawanda. It was an impulse buy, a book with a nice cover (it is the cover above, from a canadian printing). Magnus Mills is a British author (I keep meaning to get more of his novels, but I haven’t gotten around to that yet) who here tells the story of a man, who lives in a tin house. Really that is the entire premise. Just a man who lives in a tin house. Expect extended descriptions of the house, the walks out in the sand he takes, the way he shovels the sand away from the house. I know I am making this sound as interesting as watching paint dry, but I love this book. It is very surreal, and takes you on one strange journey. One of the best I have read this year.
