Books, books, books
Oct. 5th, 2008 02:50 pmI've been a bad LJer. But I have a good excuse for at least 2 weeks, because I was in Andalusia on vacation. It was nice and the weather was great. I took a lot of pictures. I will do a picture entry or two later.
Here's what I've reading the past few weeks:
Carter beats the Devil: A interesting book about a magician, but it got a little long at the end.
The Namesake: I loved this book. It's very well written. The characters are relatable and you really get where they are coming from. It's about the search of the son of immigrants for his personal and cultural identity.
Special Topics in Calamity Physics: Too long and because of the constant stream of pop-culture references it took me a while to get into the book. Well observed human behaviour and group dynamics stuff, but the open end didn't do it for me.
Neverwhere: Although it's the first book I've read of Neil Gaiman's, I just love the worlds he creates. Stardust is also on my list, because I loved the movie.
Still on my list to read: Lost Art of Keeping secrets, Shutter Island, Water for Elephants, Stardust, March, The Eyre Affair, Blind Assassin and Then we came to the end.
I'm currently reading The Time Traveler's Wife and find the whole idea really intriguing, even though time travel makes my brain hurt with all different timelines.
