* Denotes a new book.
- Mother Night was so wonderful. I love Vonnegut's voice and his sass and his personality. I'm definitely going to be reading more (if not all) of his work in the near future.
- It's Kind of a Funny Story was exactly what I thought it would be. An easy, enjoyable teen read. Nothing too deep, and een though it was a dark subject, it was light and fun to read.
- I Am America (And So Can You!) was halarious. A perfect substitute for my lack of Colbert Report while i'm TV-less.
- Satori in Paris was good. I like Kerouac a lot and it helped me get back into the swing of his writing before I embarked on On the Road.
- On the Road was a book I had to re-read. I had made it almost all the way through my Jr year of High School, but then gave up. At times it's dull, repetitive, but I like it anyhow.
- The Memory Keeper's Daughter was given to me by my mom before I left the bus station to come to Maine. It was good, but far too long. It was a "mom-book" to be sure.
- I read Walk Two Moons on the bus up here. It's always been in my top 5 favorite books since fourth grade. I just love it. If you haven't read it, pick it up!
Currently I'm working on Jane Eyre (also a re read from my senior year of high school). It's just as good as I remember it and I'm blazing through it faster than I thought. I have two books left that I brought to camp, but I might just forgo those (Hamilton's Mythology and The Aeneid) and buy Johnathan Safron Foyer's "Everything is Illuminated"
I read "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" last summer and I loved it, and I've heard this one is equally as amazing. Regardless, I need something to read on the long bus ride back (14 hours!) that will keep me intrigued. Other things i'm looking forward to reading when I get home:
