I'd only be a fool to rate these magnificent novels but quoting the final line "All I can tell you is, it isn't so bad"

A beautiful lyrical book, have never read such wonderful passages describing little things like sunsets, leaves, shoes, grasses and so on. The protagonist is someone who you might not relate to much but hey people do exist! Read it for the journey across a person's life from his 20s till his 60s spanning across all the major decades in an american life during the 50s to the 90s. I enjoyed the whole journey slowly and tastefully!

Also adding a beautiful quote I kept note of-

"The universe is unsleeping, neither nats nor stars sleep, to die will be to be forever wide awake" - Rabbit Redux
