Pages I am turning...

  • David Guterson: East of the Mountains

    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

    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

    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

    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)

    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

    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

    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

    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.

I just watched this the other day. Easily top 10 things I've ever seen.

Yeah - I was so surprised that I liked it so much. I should have known though - HBO's got mad skills.
