The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, almost done... great book so far. It really is funny how we all deal with the trauma that happens in our lives.
Next up.. 50 Shades of Grey... E.L. James, what I have read is rather HOT...

The Buddha in the Attic, by Julie Otsuka
The only word to describe this book is “exquisite”. It’s a beautifully written (almost poetic, mostly haunting) narrative of Japanese “picture brides” in California during the 1920s. Rather than being told from one character’s perspective (or even several) it’s written in a collective voice, unusual and deeply effective. It’s a short book (only 129 pages) best read slowly in order to savor one word at a time. |

I'm reading two different series, The Noble Dead series by Barb and JC Hendee, book 6. The Change series by SM Stirling book 5. Both are very good fantasy series. Real books not on my Kindle. I know that will please some out there, but I can't enlarge the font. Bummer.

I know I'm late to the party but I'm just now reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I'm tapped and can't buy anymore e-books and it was on it when my ex gave me her old Kindle. So I read what's on there 'til I can afford the next two books in Teh Arwen's hot series.

finished health at every size...i started wild by cheryl strayed yesterday, after a strong recommendation from a friend and reading some really positive reviews. i'm still in the first quarter of the book and finding it hard to digest...she talks a lot about how she lost her mom, which i can relate to because i lost both of my parents when i was just a bit younger. so the grief passages i can relate to a lot. but a lot of the writing comes off as...excessively self-centered and martyr-ish, even for a memoir. i'm going to give it a chance, though...maybe i'm being overly harsh.

I'm reading The Happiness Project and about to start The Hunger Games.
The Happiness Project is written in a sort of simple but effective style. I usually prefer lusher denser books. It reminds me a lot of Eat, Pray, Love in the writing style and intent. Woman goes on personal journey of discovery sort of idea. However it is often touchingly funny as she comes face to face in some rather ironic ways with things we all struggle to contend with in her efforts to increase happiness. I've actually burst out laughing a couple of times which is really unlike me. |

I want to excerpt an extended passage of text from a book that I’ve been reading from over the past month (or so). It’s from the chapter called “School,” from the book:
The Color of Water (McBride, 1996).I’ve laughed and cried so hard while reading this book. I see myself in much of the story James McBride weaves about his mother and the life, all of them led (McBride and his 11 other siblings – I hope I have that figure right). Back in the day when McBride was growing up, they lived in the worst ghetto in Brooklyn, New York and because they lived in an era of pronounced segregation, he and his siblings would often travel up to two hours by bus - just to attend schools that his mother found for her children to attend. I simply have to say that if anyone wants to learn about the hardships people of color have faced and still face today, you have to read this book. McBride’s book was on the New York Times Best Seller list for a couple of years (still should be, in my heart felt opinion). ~D |
