Good Shit
Pages I am turning...
David Guterson: East of the Mountains
I am a huge Guterson fan. I have never read books that make me feel so much with so little. This book has a quiet, spacious power that at times made my heart literally ache to the point of having to put it aside. I always picked it back up.Mark Evan: Metropause
About 70 pages in, and must recommend. My expression while reading alternates from amused to surprised. Evan and Lulias write with an easy, wry wit and the characters are somehow engaging amidst their mania. Emotion is inserted at what seem at to be the most unlikely moments. So far Metropause has me on my toes... and I am always a fan of this position.Chaim Potok: The Chosen
This has long been my Mom's favorite book. Perhaps that's why I took so long to read it. Turns out, as always, SHE WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! (it IS her favorite!) I love this book. I think it is Potok's best, or Chaim, as I like to call him.J. D. Salinger: The Catcher In The Rye
Perhaps my favorite book. How did I miss it for 26 years!?J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)
I know, I know... I'm late. I'm reading these with my 13 year old brother Collin, and he's kicking my booty. Book five is my favorite so far - Harry's so ANGRY!Milan Kundera: The Unbearable Lightness of Being: A Novel
My first experience with Kundera. Our encounter was intense. I'm still spinning. Do I love him? Do I hate him? You must read it. Mostly so we can talk about it.David Sedaris: When You Are Engulfed in Flames
It's David. Sad, provocative and hilarious as always.Kerry Cohen: Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity
One of the best books I have read this year. A must-read for any possessor of a vagina. And a should-read for any non-possessor. Beautifully written. Not just about sexual promiscuity; Cohen speaks brilliantly about the void of identity and soul that women are culturally raised to believe must be filled by a man. Incredible.

So, I just got back to College Station from spending waaay too long with my family. I'm supposed to have been moving since I got back here about two hours ago. You might be wondering to yourself why I would have wasted so much precious time. I seriously just went through your "Best of 2008"(see: no one noticed!) part of your Chalkballerina website three times. I know I've told you before, but the way you capture the beauty in people (even when they don't see it in themselves) is absolutely amazing. I was literally crying, Charis! I also love how I can see your sense of humor in lots of the pictures. Sometimes I was even laughing aloud! You're absolutely fantastic!
