81. While I Was Gone by Sue Miller. I thought this book was fairly riveting, which is a rare time when I agree with a comment that’s printed on the front of the book. It’s about a middle-aged woman coming to terms with her marriage and a tradgedy that happened when she was younger. I though it dealt pretty well with older women’s sexuality (okay, she was only like 50 or something, she wasn’t elderly, but still!), something that doesn’t get talked about very much. & with fidelity in marriage.
82. The Outsider by Albert Camus. I didn’t think it “marked my life indelibly” which the front cover claimed it would do. It was pretty … eh. It’s about a guy who kills somebody, and then is sentenced to death, basically because he doesn’t go along with society’s ideas about how a person should be- sad when their mother dies, regretful when they kill somebody, and having faith in God. I think the idea is interesting, but… I just never really identified with the character, so I couldn’t care what happened to him.
83. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark. This was kinda funny… I don’t know. I don’t think I got the deeper meaning, so I didn’t really get the point.
17 to go, and 20 days to do it in…
