Shopgirl by Steve Martin was quick little read about a shopgirl and her relationship with two men. It was a touching book and I really liked it.

I picked up this book at the library and wasn't expecting anything spectacular. But I was surprised - it was a fun short read. Very touching, as you said.

The Bibliophile
: Kymberlie, 29, Pisces - a neurotic bibliophile that can never read enough, particularly in the vein of horror and mystery, but has begun to read more main-stream fiction lately. One of those peculiar readers who prefers anthologies to novels and regards a good short story as a precious gem.
: Favorite Authors - Stephen King, Laurell K. Hamilton, Clive Barker, H. P. Lovecraft, David Eddings, Pam Houston, Douglas Adams, Janet Evanovich, J. K. Rowling, David Sedaris, and Christopher Moore.
