Giving it another try

My brother gave me The Echo Maker, by Richard Powers, for Christmas back in 2008. According to the cover, it's a Pulitzer Prize Finalist. I've started it a couple times but never gotten into it. I think I was on the elliptical machine at the gym last time I tried, so maybe it's just not a good exercise book. I'll be at my son's volleyball tournament all day with lots of downtime, so maybe this time I'll read enough to get into it.
