A Box of Matches by Nicholson Baker

3.0

Every morning, for about a month, a father of two wakes up super early, lights a fire in the fireplace, and records his thoughts. This novel consists of those early morning ramblings. So, the novel reads kind of like a blog, but it's more poetic and not sensationalistic. Overall, a good (and short) read - most effective in small doses, like A Year in Provence.
