Pages

I'd like to review some of my recent reading:

Mennonite in the Little Black Dress. a sweet, interesting memoir. easy read.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. awesome, a classic. i love that nothing much happens in the book. like life sometimes.

Cutting for Stone. delightful, intense novel.

My Own Country. same author as Cutting for Stone. a physician's story about his work with AIDS patients and the struggle to manage personal and professional life. i've got his next book ordered and on the way.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog. awful book. one of the worst things i've ever read. ever.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. another awful book in my opinion. i don't know why it became so utterly popular. yucky book. can't image needed 2 sequels to this horror.

Half Broke Horses. loved it. almost as much as her other book The Glass Castle.

i've got Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the Reliable Wife, and All Over but the Shoutin' coming up next in the queue.
