Lower than Angels by Walter Karig. Finished this book late last night and so promptly took these pictures while in bed. I couldn’t put this coming of age story down. Walter Karig displays the life of Marvin Lang at the turn of the last century. Every chapter is a different year of his life starting in 1900 up through 1919. At times it was vulgar, as Marvin does like the ladies, and I’m a total prude, but it is a story which kept me interested and reading to the point of distraction. This doesn’t happen often. It was fun to be completely swept up. .
