Tinkers by Paul Harding

How I Found:  You know that guy who has a sister who is an English major that in turn is a voracious reader?  This guy let me borrow Tinker. If you lend me a book, that means it sits on my shelf, in the giant pile of books others have recommended.  There's not really any reason to how I select what I'll read next but after about a year, I picked up this book in particular.  Tinkers is a debut novel Pulitzer Prize winner, so I already knew I was getting a book of literary merit.  As such, I was prepared to think deeply and critically as I read, but I was not prepared for the depths into which It would reach into my soul.  I love a novel with multiple characters whose stories intertwine--this is that, but in such a poetic way it felt like reading an epic.  
Why You Might Read:  If you're looking for a rich read, that makes you ponder more than life itself, Tinkers will pull you in.  The symbolism of the the clocks hold it all together while reminding that from generation-to- generation we are intertwined like the mechanisms that make the minutes and hours turn to days and years.
