read a book a month in 2008

sometimes I do that. Finally finished “Salt Dancer” by Ursula Hegi-didn’t grab me like some others of hers. Just read a book called “Mister Pip” which was quite good. Reading Cathleen Schine’s “The New Yorkers” which I’m really enjoying—makes me feel like I’m back there, in the middle of one of my former lives. So, that’s 11 in 2008. not too bad. Maybe there’s more, but at the moment I can’t remember…

must be from january…Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (maybe that was the end of december?) and The Birth House by Ami McKay (another one not more than three months ago) Geez—-I haven’t put ‘em away like this since graduate school. And it’s back to Ursala Hegi’s Salt Dancer

Atonement by Ian McKewan(amazing)
The Emperor’s Children by Claire Messud (pretty good)
Paula Spencer by Roddy Doyle (one of the best i’ve ever read)
The Magician’s Assistant by Ann Patchett (i’m an ann patchett fan)
Loaded by Jill Talbott (got bored)
Crazy Aunt Pearl’s Drunk Divorced and Covered in Cat Hair by Laurie Perry(cute)
