decemberthirtyHmmm, let's see...been a bit of a while since I updated. I finished The Accidental Tourist shortly after my last post. It was a fine read I suppose, but certainly nothing earth shattering. In the end, I just didn't really care about the characters. I feel like I had some more thoughts that I wanted to put down, but cannot remember at the moment. Oh well.
After finishing Accidental Tourist, I started All Quiet on the Western Front by Remarque. It's one of the books that I really feel I should have read at some point during my education, but since I didn't, I'm now trying to fill in those holes. Unfortunately, I read about 30 pages of it and then left it at my sister's house in Chicago. That was a little frustrating because I was starting to like it, and I was already at the airport when I realized I hadn't packed it. Argh. So once again I found myself at the mercy of the poor selection at the airport bookstore, but I did somewhat better than last time and I have Oprah's book club to thank, believe it or not. I got The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers, and I really don't think I would have found it at the airport unless Oprah had recently anointed it. Regardless, I've read a little bit of it, and really I really like what I've read so far. It's a little early yet for me to say much about it, but I'm enjoying it so far.
