Week #43: What I Read This Week

2007-10-28T13:57:08Z

(right) Wow. Really great. Can't say much more than that. It was just really really fascinating and well-written and I enjoyed it very much -- way more than I expected I could ever enjoy a novel about a woman living through the Plague. ...

Week #42: What I Read This Week

2007-10-21T15:30:21Z

(right) I've always been utterly and completely fascinated by Princess Diana. I remember The Wedding, I remember all her amazing dresses and hats, and I vividly recall that horrible night in August when she died. I've really only read a few arti...

Week #41: What I Read This Week

2007-10-14T16:31:40Z

Got derailed a few times, by bustin' out HP7 for a while, by re-reading half of The Cider House Rules for a while, and the excerpt of Eric Clapton's autobiography in the new issue of Vanity Fair (btw, I'm super sad all over again about poor littl...

Week #40: What I Read This Week

2007-10-07T14:05:35Z

(right) Y'all, I think I'm just about ready to call it. Stephen King post-car accident is not as good as Stephen King pre-car accident. There's something missing. You can see a few little hints of his brilliance now and then but overall, it's...

Week #39: What I Read This Week

2007-09-30T14:11:20Z

(left) Does the cover photo look at all familiar? Take a closer look. It's a detail shot of the very edge of the World Trade Center as it was burning, prior to collapsing. This novel takes place over one 24-hour time period, from early morni...

Week #38: What I Read This Week

2007-09-23T14:49:47Z

(Right) Read this because I saw it when I was looking for the first Harry Potter at the library for Sissy (electronic card catalog said it was on the shelf but it MOST DEFINITELY WAS NOT. Anyhoo, I found my own copy under a pile of towels, becau...

Week #37: What I Read This Week

2007-09-16T14:48:40Z

(left) Really enjoyed this (thanks to fellow pugmama Beth for the rec)! I especially loved learning that a lot of Sezen the pug's behavior is due -- not to her being a freakshow -- but just because she's a pug. Pugs are really funny, strange, s...

Week #36: What I Read This Week

2007-09-09T14:46:11Z

(right).Read this for a book club I'm in, and enjoyed it very much. Fascinating, but I really expected a whole lot more spitting in complaining peoples' hamburgers and stuff. I could never be a chef; they do far too much name-calling and I bet I...

Week #35: What I Read This Week

2007-09-02T15:14:41Z

(left) Not bad at all, but sort of like an America Jemima J. Liked it though. (right) Oh man, this was SO much fun. I really enjoyed this. Becky recommended it to me and I must admit that when it arrived from paperbackswap, it "happened" to ...

Week #34: What I Read This Week

2007-08-26T19:45:00Z

(left) Found this at the library. If I'd waited for it on paperbackswap.com, I'd still be #178 or something in line. Anyhow, it's a collection of short stories, some of which are linked to another story, others that aren't. We already know a f...
