For school I'm reading Frederick Douglass' memoir, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass an American Slave.
It's a very good read. Douglass' writing is beautifully descriptive. I'm sure that this will cause some difficulty in reading as I go on, but I've only just started reading it thus far. For my own self, I'm reading a collection of short stories by Flannery O'Connor. Another excellent writer. I enjoy it very much so far. I also picked up a book on statistics but every time I open it I feel sleepy. Something about math makes my eyes just want to close.

I just breezed through an excellent short story written by James Patterson. The Medical Examiner is about a group of friends who work in professional agency settings and how they solve murder mysteries. If you like clear, concise, fast paced, page turner stories, you'll like Patterson as an writer of short story, crime fiction novels.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
...this is so lyrical and beautiful (so far). I wonder if I would dare watch the movie adaptation. I’m not sure how it could represent the beauty of this book’s written style. |

"The Magnolia Story" by Chip and Joanna Gaines. This was a get-well soon gift from a friend while I was laid up with the flu. It's the story of the HGTV "Fixer Upper" couple Chip and Joanna Gaines. Not a book I would normally pick up but a sweet story about their life and relationship. If you like their show you will probably enjoy the book. Good to read when you are sick and just want something you can pick up, put down, and pick up again without losing any plot. Having said that, as soon as I finish it will be heading to the closest "Little Free Library." Ok to read but not a keeper.

Camino Island (John Grisham).
I stayed up late last night and read half of this book, which is really good! It's about the fictional heist of rare books and manuscripts by F. Scott Fitzgerald from Princeton University....and how the story centers upon Mercer, who grew up on Camino Island with her grandmother. Mercer is approached by Elaine, who is working for her client, who insured the Fitzgerald books and manuscripts. Elaine hires Mercer to help solve the crime. I'm enjoying this Grisham story immensely!

I just downloaded "Life After Death" by Damien Echols to listen to on audiobook when I make my trip later this week.
I've followed his case for years and enjoy his writing style. He's not a professional writer at all but it's honest writing and I suspect he writes much the way he speaks.

Growing up on Long Island, Shelby Richmond is an ordinary girl until one night an extraordinary tragedy changes her fate. Her best friend’s future is destroyed in an accident, while Shelby walks away with the burden of guilt. What happens when a life is turned inside out? When love is something so distant it may as well be a star in the sky? Faithful is the story of a survivor, filled with emotion—from dark suffering to true happiness—a moving portrait of a young woman finding her way in the modern world. A fan of Chinese food, dogs, bookstores, and men she should stay away from, Shelby has to fight her way back to her own future. In New York City she finds a circle of lost and found souls—including an angel who’s been watching over her ever since that fateful icy night. |

For myself:
I just got Grandma Gateways Walk in the mail. I've wanted to read this book for YEARS. It's about the first woman to hike the Appalachian trail. She was an older lady and did it in tennis shoes and a knapsack. For school: I'm reading Slave Narratives: Stories of the underground railroad. It includes numerous excerpts from escaped slaves and how they found their way to freedom. Very moving. I only cry every other page or so.

Gosh, I read the Patterson crime novel in ONE day! It was really good! This particular crime novel is told from first person narrative (?) The protagonist suffers from an condition that makes his mind race in a million directions and the subtext of the story is how his condition makes him think of favorite movie scenes which compare closely to the fast paced investigation to find the woman he loves, but turns out that the woman he loves was an spy, nothing he remotely even knew about her! For movie fans and fans of crime thrillers, this is an must read book!
I received three books yesterday: two new books by James Patterson.... Cross Kill and Taking the Titanic! And an new romance novel by Georgia Beers titled What Matters Most. I'm looking forward to reading all three this weekend!
