a life beyond a house
having finished up my semester, turned in my grades, i look back and realize i read two whole books on the subway. for some of you that may not seem all that impressive but consider how rarely i am on mass transit by myself, it is remarkable.
truth & beauty: tragic from the beginning. but compelling none the less. the story of a friendship between to authors. i am curious to read the biography of ann patchett's friend. i do enjoy her writing and loved bel canto.
in a sunburned country. most enjoyable, laugh out loud on the subway, makes me want to visit australia again with new eyes. i loved it.
the secret river. our most recent book club book. turn of the century australia. interesting. all agree we enjoyed her writing style. not much discussion but i find that to be true with books that we all like. so, i didn't read this on the subway, but i did read in a week in part because my husband was out of town last week. also, i got my nap times back (no papers to grade!).
luncheon on the boating party. it was interesting. it is a fictional depiction of what went into the renior painting of the same title. it was an interesting concept, but it didn't really deliver. i didn't actually finish but i made it through three-fourths of it, so i count it as a book to include in my yearly reading list.
