Bookworming
November 24, 2007For weeks, reading had taken backseat to all the other goings-on in my life. Not this weekend. Reading my way from Friday night into Saturday morning, I finished the following:
Is That You, Miss Blue? by M.E Kerr
Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood
Six of One by Rita Mae Brown
I love Rita Mae Brown. She fills her book with oddballs. She writes sadness so matter-of-factly you find yourself laughing over the tragedies that befall people with the bad case of crazies. In the end, however, she ties everything together so beautifully you wonder how a story so funny and at times, even dispassionate, could make you cry. Rita Mae Brown, you are the thinking woman’s Jennifer Crusie. You had me at Bingo and Riding Shotgun.
I hope to read some more in the coming weeks. Foremost on my reading list are
Lake Woebegone Days by Garrison Keillor
The Onion Eaters by J.P Donleavy
My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell
Time Must Have a Stop by Aldous Huxley
The Glass Mountain by S.L Sparling - done
I don’t know if these books are any good. I read just about anything, anyway, so even if they’re bad, reading won’t be a waste of time. My eyes need the exercise.
