This is a wonderful book. It will make you mad though. It talks about electric cars in 1914, electric trains, electric trolleys in all sorts of cities and how companies like GM did their best to defeat these great ideas and replace them with petroleum powered conveyances. It also includes some hopeful news about technologies that are being developed right now to decrease our dependence on fossil fuels.

Wonderfully uplifting.
God has used this allegory multiple times, and everytime I read the book, it effects me in a different way. You definately have to be willing to bring your heart to the table when you read this.
The beginning of this book was quite funny. I found myself laughing out loud and thought Great! something different. Unfortunately it became much more predictable. It was almost like the author stopped trying.
Light Lifting is the best short story collection I've read in a while. There were no stories I found noticably weaker than the others--in fact, there wasn't a single story I would call weak, period. It's not easy to choose a favourite, but if pushed, I would probably go with "Adult Beginner I", which kept me awake and reading far longer than I'd intended one night, because I simply could not stand to put it down before I found out how it ended. And the ending was a fine example of the darkness that tinged many of these stories--though by no means all. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this bookbto someone who is a hardline believer in happy endings, but if you have a taste for a little dark realism (with a couple slightly lighter, though no less real, stories mixed in), you'll very likely enjoy Light Lifting just as much as I did.
but oh, for a conch!

I didn't like this book - I know its all the rave now. The writing is good, and the scenes in Europe were very compelling, but the author seems to just take pleasure in absolutely everyone being miserable all of the time. Even the people not involved with the basic drama had to have stupidly bad things happen to them. For no reason. Who needs that.

After the 2nd book, this series has really taken off and left me reaching for the next book almost as soon as I finish one.

There's something about this book that you just don't want to put down, and something about it that you really don't want to touch. It's a long story of dysjunction and marginalization, self-torture and the ways people manage to hurt each other and somehow still find common ground. Gaitskill has a predilection for the eerie blurriness of sexuality, the place where tenderness and pathology intersect, and loneliness lies down with brutality. These shadowy encounters make up the economy of human relationships, for Gaitskill, which is kind of a bleak view. I can't say I would read this book again, but I can say it has stayed with me, and that her writing - with its searing honesty, its lucidity, its raw pain and its attention to the craft in each sentence - has informed and improved my own.
