My Alphabet Soup Challenge had me venturing outside my normal reading genres.

X Out of Wonderland
X, the novel’s decent and brave protagonist, maintains his optimistic pursuit of love and The Good Life even as a string of catastrophies brutalize him through a series of misadventures that take him around the world. While pointing up the absurdities of our own times, X Out of Wonderland also shows clearly the universal predicament of all humans in all cultures in all times: the need to find meaning and dignity in our lives despite the certainty of death and suffering. The story makes clear that despite our folly, we’ve got a few things going for us: faith, hope, love, and the capacity to endure.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
I have not read Candide
A tornado hits X’s part of Wonderland (read United States) and the radio talk-show host is now homeless. We follow him to some crazy places where he meets some crazy people.
It is a quick read at just 160 pages but don’t really recommend you do. But hey, I did complete my challenge.
