This month's read: Lottery, by Patricia Wood.
Perry Crandall has been equipped for life by his tough-as-nails cynical grandmother. But with an IQ of 76 (he’s not retarded, he’ll have you know – that’s a 75 IQ), people don’t think he’s ready to care for himself when the old lady dies. Especially when he wins $12 million playing the lottery numbers he and his grandmother always used. Suddenly Perry has lots of friends, but can he trust any of them? Funny, offbeat, and heartwarming, Wood has captured Perry’s voice perfectly.
