mixedmedia

I read A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and The Love of the Last Tycoon by F. Scott Fitzgerald while I was on vacation.

I think I'm going to start reading Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer tonight. But I'm not sure. I might opt for something non-fiction. My sister gave me a copy of The Children by David Halberstam and I've been wanting to read that...

choices, choices
