I am reading The Foremost Good Fortune by Susan Conley, a memoir about the author and her family living in Beijing. It took 8 months to get it from the library, which would suggest that a lot of people really loved it. In actuality, it probably means that it took people FOREVER to finish the damn thing because the author writes in short, dull sentences, and is relentlessly whiny while her husband and two young sons seemed to be having the time of their lives...

Oh, and eventually, she gets cancer, but I'm not there yet.
