Currently reading:

 

March 2008

Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith by Anne Lamott. 

A Voyage Long & Strange by Tony Horwitz.

Loved it.

 

February 2008

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer.

My college-age daughter had to read this for a class and insisted that I read it. I could not put it down and didn't want it to end. So imaginative.

Sweetness in the Belly by Camilla Gibb.

My only disappointment is that I hadn't read it sooner. An amazing story beautifully told. I kept forgetting it is fiction.

 

January 2008

The Commoner by John Burnham Schwartz.

The Pirate's Daughter by Margaret Cezair-Thompson.
 
The God of Animals by Aryn Kyle.

November 2007

The Cure for Modern Life by Lisa Tucker.

Charlatan: America's Most Dangerous Huckster, the Man Who Pursued Him, and the Age of Flimflam by Pope Brock.

Monster, 1959 by David Maine.

David Maine brings his unique brand of wit and creativity to "Monster, 1959."  What seems at first to be a parody of the wildly popular monster movies of the 1950s--complete with bad dialogue, unconvincing monsters, and improbable plots--turns out to be an exceptionally entertaining but thought-provoking fable that leaves the reader wondering who the monsters really are, us or them?

 

October 2007

 

Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan.

 

A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo.

 

 

September 2007
