   One where the title entices me.

      THE SISTERS BROTHERS is a odd book, Patti. If you’re in the mood for an off-beat western, THE SISTERS BROTHERS fits the bill.

   My public library has 29 copies of this novel. Everyone of them is checked out. Popular book!

      THE SISTERS BROTHERS was talked up on NPR, Drongo. It made some SUMMER READING lists, too. THE SISTERS BROTHERS is a quick, quirky read.

   I used “everyone” instead of “every one”. Now I’m going to be annoyed by that error for the rest of the day.

   Or would “each one” have been a better choice?

      I’d go with “each copy has been checked out,” Drongo.

      NPR can really generate reader interest, Patti. Before I heard about THE SISTERS BROTHERS on NPR, I’d never heard of the book or its author.

   Brooklyn has 7 copies and 1 on hold. I’ll pass for now. I’ve already got 10 books on hold.

      THE SISTERS BROTHERS isn’t a must-read book, Jeff. It’s an interesting “change-of-pace” kind of a book.
