I wasn't able to read while school was in, so as soon as school let out I went kind of book crazy.
What I've read so far:
Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman - cute at times, but not as good as I was led to believe. meh
Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri - beautiful, simple, realistically poignant short stories, my favorite kind of fiction reading
shhhh, I'm not supposed to waste my time on this kind of trash, but: I'm with the Band by Pamela Des Barres - not very good, I quit before she lost her virginity - her writing was too cutesy and cloying
I've read bits and pieces of about a dozen other books - short stories mostly, too many to mention
What I'm reading now:
Annie Leibovitz At Work - an xmas gift that I didn't expect to enjoy nearly as much as I am; it's given me a whole new appreciation of Ms. Leibovitz and her work
with school about to start up again in less than 2 weeks I am wishing I had made better choices...oh well.
