I Don't Have Much to Say Right Now, but These Authors Do

I still really don't have much to say, so once again I'm going to blog about what I'm reading. Better than nothing, right?

Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman

If you like books, you'll enjoy this cute and intelligent little collection of essays. If you don't like books, well, this is a book.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

Much like the Book of Negroes, this one took me a while to get into. It could be because it's written in the form of letters. I liked the letters, so I don't really think it was that. I think it just takes a few letters to really start the character development and get into the meat of the story. One more thing about this book - it's really really girly. (I was going to say 'it is saturated with womanhood' until I realized that is the dirtiest sentence of this entire blog. Did I delete it? Hells no.) To expand on what I mean by 'really really girly', I mean I think the authors had Pride and Prejudice in mind (which I hated, btw). Have you read The Secret Life of Bees? (by Sue Monk Kidd). I found that book really really girly too, in the same way.

Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer

I'm only a chapter in, and already I'm enjoying it. It's even more embarrassing than reading Twilight. At least I don't talk about what my vampire power would be in public (ahem, Meredith).

What Is Stephen Harper Reading?: Yann Martel's Recommended Reading for a Prime Minister and Book Lovers of All Stripes by Yann Martel

I also just started reading this. It's grabbed me from the preface. I've only read two of the letters and already I think it's going to be a favorite.

ps. Two books about books (Ex Libris, is the other one, obvi ;) )and two books (Guernsey is the other) in letter form.
