Today Will Be Different How about a book that you can read in a day, all

set in just 24 hours? Today Will Be Different by Maria Semple is a funny, fastpaced novel following a day in the life of Eleanor Flood, as she challenges herself to ‘radiate calm’ just for one day. You can probably imagine how it goes... A question to ponder:

Eleanor is studying Skunk Hour in her poetry class. Is there any significance to the author’s choice of poem?

Further reading: If you like a novel set all in one day, you could also try Molly Fox’s Birthday by Deirdre Madden, or if you feel like a challenge (and have the entire long weekend free) why not dip into Ulysses by James Joyce?
