I just finished reading The Things They Carried and I liked it but it was in many ways puzzling. I suppose that's what I like and call "thought provoking", but I guess the jury is still out really on it. Definitely not calling it a favorite, am not completely blown away but it is still simmering. Next up is 100 Years of Solitude and I'm pretty excited about it! More likely than not I'll end up reading that and Jodi's new novel Sing Me Home at the same time but, I can handle it! I'm really enjoying my increased level of reading, I've missed it and it is really something I love so much, it helps keep me grounded I guess? I don't know? I just like it and it relaxes me while still stimulating my brain cells. Hoorah!
A quick list of must reads for you bloglings:
The Book Thief Markus Zusak
Forest for the Trees Betsy Lerner
Forgotten Fire Adam Bagdasarian
Plain Truth Jodi Picoult
Handle With Care Jodi Picoult
Milkweed Jerry Spinelli
The Giver Lois Lowry
The Soloist Steve Lopez
This is of course by no means an exhaustive list. I encourage the exploration of my Shelfari "bookshelf", which is posted at the bottom of the blog. I again also urge the exploration of the site in its entirety, so cool, I'm a bit obsessed! Lots of great books out there, get reading!
I though, must get sleeping, school is back. However only 104 days till high school is gone forever, so I suppose I could just suck it up and enjoy the time left ;-p
Night bloglings.
