At bat:
- Friday Night Lights (yeah, I know I am mixing sports metaphors here; so sue me) (just started this one because I thought my Amazon order would not arrive for another week or so)
On deck:
- The Lovely Bones
- The Secret Life of Bees
- The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
- Life of Pi
- The Devil Wears Prada
Read any of these? Let me know what you thought. Don't give away the endings or key plot points though. That wouldn't be very nice.
How odd that our reading tastes are simliar, fair sister of mine! I own "The Lovely Bones" -- great book -- and borrowed "The Devil Wears Prada" from our other sister. DWP was an excellently therapeutic read (in that the protagonist, of course, works for the boss from hell!) "Life of Pi" I am about to borrow from a friend of mine, as soon as he gets it back from the guy he has currently loaned it to. I'm really excited about this one. As for the remaining two, they are both on my extended list. Happy reading!! :D
ReplyDeleteFriday Night Lights is very, very good (but a little depressing).
ReplyDeleteCurious incident is very unique. Funny, but not laugh out loud funny.
If you want laugh out loud funny, you have to read:
