Purchased at a library book sale.

Description: Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life.
But one day his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a girlfriend) tells him she's facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah's meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever.

An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph, filled with Anne Tyler's signature wit and gimlet-eyed observation.

In a review someone wrote, Anne Tyler has a way of making the ordinary, extraordinary. This is true. This was the story of a ordinary man, living his life. Yet I kept hoping for him and cheering him on. A fast, lovely read.

This is now traveling to mrsjones. Enjoy! Happy Reading and Happy BookCrossing!

Received in the mail today. Made my day! Thanks!

Micah's character reminded me so much of the man I'm dating! He's a little OCD and I could imagine him puttering around his house like Micah did.
This was an enjoyable story, but probably won't be the memorable in a few weeks.

Left in the LFL. Enjoy!
