- I finished The House At Sugar Beach and posted a review - excellent memoir!
- I started another memoir for my Wednesday book group, The Women Who Raised Me by Victoria Rowell. I'm about a third of the way through it and disappointed so far, maybe because I just finished such a wonderful memoir before it?
- I set that one aside today and started The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar for my Tuesday book group. I'm loving it so far! It's a well-written novel about two women in India: one who's in the upper class and her servant who's worked for her family for decades. I was hooked right from the first pages.
- At bedtime, we're listening to the audio version of Scat by Carl Hiaasen with the kids. We're all big fans of Hiaasen's humorous environmental mysteries.
What are YOU reading this week?
I finished Public Enemies! Whew. I'm currently reading Brief Encounters with Che Guevara and really enjoying it. Usually a book of short stories doesn't keep me wanting to read, but this one does. Ben Fountain knows how to write a short story, mmmhmm.
ReplyDeleteYes, I liked Things Not Seen. Since I've been so housebound, the book touched closer to home then I thought it would. I'm not sure I want to read the next one because I enjoyed this one so contentedly. Does that make sense? Please advise.
Oh, you asked about Rev. Road. I really liked it. Not a fun, happy story, but excellent characterization and writing. I'm going to read more Richard Yates.
