Mr. Bones by Paul Theroux

Twenty short stories of good variety. Nice lengths for the most part for an average commute on bus or train - maybe need the round trip to get through some of the longer ones. Will keep you entertained and might even provoke deep thinking in some cases.

For the most part, the stories are on the dark, dramatic side, even to the point of disturbing now and then, though some are humorous in some sense. Don't let this scare you away.

My favorite quote from the book is, "forgiveness is final". That's something to ponder.

Enjoy.
