Happy World Book Day!
i can't let the day end w/o wishing everyone a Happy World Book Day!
i think someone mentioned somewhere about starting a BP.net book club. does it sound like a good idea to u? let's see if this idea will pan out and let's start a discussion about your favorite books, recommendations, etc.
full disclosure: i don't really read much anymore in terms of literature (aka books). i don't even like reading super-long threads and posts lol. i mainly read blogs, periodicals and news articles BUT i can make a commitment to read if we are all in it together!
anyway my favorite books include:
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin - the first book i read almost all the way through and couldn't put down. it's a whodunnit?! i only took me like 3 days to finish.
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman - a medical anthropology i read in college. 352 pages!! i've read it twice again since FOR FUN!!
Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon - smart and funny, a real and surreal adventure in life and academia.
The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri - there's a lot more complexity and moving parts to the novel vs the film. a deep, beautiful and moving story.
TL;DR : yay books! yay reading!
