So far I have read 11 books this year. I feel like I am falling behind and have decided to purge a few books of my shelf that I don't think I will ever get to.
Here is the list of books I've read so far.
Equus by Peter Shaffer
Julie and Julia by Julie Powell
Duma Key by Stephen King
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz
Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W.Loewen
Abarat by Clive Barker
Outliers the story of success by Malcolm Gladwell
Stop Pretending; what happened when my big sister went crazy by Sonya Sones
Candy Girl by Diablo Cody
Run by Ann Patchett
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
Run by Ann Patchett is probably one of the best books I have ever read. I also think that Olive Kitteridge is my favorite Elizabeth Strout book( she has two other books). I haven't bought any books this month but I have gotten a few free from paperback swap. You really have to watch that site for something you want to come around. I have ordered Grapes of Wrath because I want to reread it and because my daughter will have to read it in school and I always try to have a copy of the school novels on hand. I can read with them to test them and if they forget there copy I always have one handy. It is a great book anyway. I have dug out my old copy of Atlas Shrugged after hearing all the financial talk about and may reread it if I can find the time. I remember enjoying it the first time but I liked the fountainhead better. I am reading a Jasper FForde book currently. His books are amusing and strange but they tend to be quick reads.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
