The Accidental Tourist

Title: The Accidental Tourist

Author: Anne Tyler

Summary: Macon Leary is a travel writer who hates to travel. In the midst of dealing with a personal tragedy, Macon finds his eccentricities starting to look odd even to himself. He finds relief in the form of his dog's trainer--who has a whole slew of eccentricities of her own. In this book, Macon finds himself in ways he never understood were possible.

Recommendation: This book was really hard to get into for me. It was slow and the main character is painfully awkward is so many situations. As soon as I finished reading the book, I thought I hated it and would never read it again. But now that it's been a few days, I find myself enjoying The Accidental Tourist a little more. It's certainly an interesting journey through words.
