CONTINUING THE SILVER THEME..NOW WITH BOOKS

I am borrowing from the New Old Age blog again. Jane Gross challenges her readers to recommend books as well as movies that focus on the senior population. I am passing on this challenge....any recommendations from the Red Bank population?

This book list was obtained from the August 7 post of the New Old Age Blog.

Patrimony (by Philip Roth)
The Optimist’s Daughter (by Eudora Welty)
As We Are Now (by May Sarton)
Angle of Repose (by Wallace Stegner)

An anonymous contributor to our blog left a great top ten list of books (see comment under the second post for June 26, 2008 ). It so happens that this reader also lists the book "Angle of Repose". A coincidence? Perhaps - but I tend to think things happen for a reason. So I will look around for this book. In the meantime, if you've read it...please share any insights you might have. Thx
