My Two Cents
This is what I've read lately, in case anyone wants a recommendation (or unrecommendation).
The Kite Runner- really good, really touching. Good portrait of Afghan history.
The Jane Austen Book Club- I'm in the middle of it, and I haven't decided if I like it yet. On one hand, the characters take Austen a little too seriously, but it is interesting to hear their take about books I used to love when I was younger.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime- it's a murder mystery (sort of) written from the perspective of an autistic boy. Interesting story.
Angels and Demons- so, I still haven't gotten around to reading the Da Vinci Code yet, but if it's as addicting as this earlier book, I may have to leave myself a lot of time. good book, but some parts seemed a little too much like a movie (main character has a love interest even though it's totally irrelevant to the main story line, etc)
The Devil Wears Prada- I'm embarrassed to even admit I read this! It is so poorly written, and it just got worse with every page. Definately don't read.
Oh and for you Jhumpa Lahiri fans, they are making a movie version of the Namesake. I think this guy from the movie American Desi is going to play Gogol. I really hope they don't butcher the book!
