Bookworm

I've been reading a lot, a new experience for me after 18 years of school school school. Here's the list so far...

Prodigal Summer - Barbara Kingsolver
LOVED it. a bit unexpected coming from her, and of course nothing she does from now on can come even close to her masterpiece Poisonwood Bible. But lovely none-the-less, a lot of musings on "the wild" and love, etc...

No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency - Alexander McCall
A mystery novel that takes place in Botswana. really lively and a fun quick read.

No Touch Monkey - Ayun Halliday
An absolutely awesome, hysterical book. I haven't had a book make me laugh out-loud in a long long time. It's all about this young woman's travels and the crazy situations she gets into.

Hotel Babylon - Imogen Edwards-Jones and Anonymous
Nutty book about a day in a luxury hotel in London. All true stories, apparently, which is terrifying. Pretty funny, but definitly lacking in any sort of plot, more of a "and you won't believe what happened next..." sort of book.

The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd
Gorgeous book, really really warm. I read it in about 3 days, its super addictive.

Towelhead - Alicia Eran
As the title suggests, completely shocking. What's even more shocking is the description on the front which describes it as "coyly sexy." by far the least accurate description ever. it is a completely disturbing book. I was glad when it ended...

So. Now i'm bookless, but after reading the last two in one week, i feel like my head needs a break. but if anyone has any suggestions, i'm always up for good books.

cheers!
