The Yiddish Policemen's Union (20)

Title: The Yiddish Policemen's Union
Author: Michael Chabon
Genre: Fiction

I can't recall the last book I enjoyed as much as I enjoyed The Yiddish Policemen's Union. I've always like Chabon's work so it's not really surprising that I love this book. But this book is a hard boiled detective story, think Raymond Chandler. Those kind of detective stories are not usually my bag at all but this one so was. I couldn't wait to get back to the book every single time I had to put it down. I've been sick the past couple days and this book was my comfort. When my brain was too fuzzy to do actual work I'd hunker down with this book and a box of Kleenex and start to feel a little better. Seriously, I just loved this book.

Loving this book so much has inspired me to re-read all of Chabon's novels. I read The Final Solution when it came out but his other YA novel didn't appeal to me nor did the serialized novel from last year but maybe I should give them a shot. I'm thinking I'll go in chronological order and start with The Mysteries of Pittsburgh.
