The Honk and Holler Opening Soon by Billie Letts
“The only thing worth living for is the good. That’s why we’ve got to make sure we pass it on.”
The Honk and Holler Opening Soon is a funny, quirky and quick read. The novel takes place in small-town Oklahoma and is centered on a motley crew of characters and their comings and goings from the Honk and Holler, a café that has been in business for twelve years with its “opening soon” sign never removed. The locals each have their own layers of prejudices and secrets; all of which are protected by rarely-talked-about, happy and sad memories. The café’s depressed days take a turn when Vena Takes Horse, a Crow woman, and Bui Khanh, a Vietnamese immigrant arrive, instantly bringing vitality, and changing sweet sadness into hope. The Honk and Holler Opening Soon is a simple, well-crafted story; a worthy weekend read!
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”
