a great start 11 months ago

Just finished 3 books in 2 months, and although one was not fiction, I will throw it into that category because reading the book did not help me acheive another goal in life.
It really has to do with finding the right books…
I was given a book by Andrea Camilleri, The Snack Thief and have gone onto read The Smell of the Night.
I like his righting style, they are mysteries, but with an interest in people. The setting in Sicily also helps me enjoy and appreciate the opportunity of living in a country that doesn’t always make sense.



Easy Reads: any stories (short) by Alice Munro.... 1 year ago

She is a remarkable writer. Pieces apart who people are. Great for women (we of course invented psychology ;) to understand each other, ourselves, etc.).

CONS:
She seems to write a lot about affairs… a bit discouraging… and it gets old.



...I hadn't read a fiction book (except shorts) for something like 7 years until reading Suite Francaise 1 year ago

Good book. I would recommend it.
Although I have to say that it is SUCH a pain reading the first three chapters… my mind wanders and I think BORING!! The Hobbit – great example.
