It’s been crazy times here at Chicago Theatre Addict the past week and a half (including the exciting news that I’m an uncle now!), but things will pick up soon — as in this week. Hopefully.

This weekend I finished the most remarkable book: “Room”, by Emma Donoghue. I learned of this book through my friend Jamie’s awesome and informative new blog, Such a Book Nerd.

It’s hard to talk about this book without giving away major plot points (and the video below does a nice job setting it up). What I can say is it’s one of those reads that stays with you, and makes you reexamine your environment. Read it.
