Spring Break Reading!

[Robin Nourie]

What are you going to read?  I'll be finishing Bel Canto by Ann Patchet.  It's a story about a party in an unnamed country in South America, where a group of insurgents take the guests hostage. Sounds violent, but it's actually quite a gentle story about how the hostages interact with each other and with their captors. The presence of a beautiful opera singer adds an element of beauty and magic to this trying experience where many of the characters discover sides to themselves they barely knew existed. 

And so what are you all reading?

I'll be reading "If I should die before I wake" by Han Nolan

[Robin Nourie]

I loved that book! One of my all time favorites - enjoy!

[Robin Nourie]

Finished Bel Canto - Now I'm reading Swamplandia - so far about a girl whose family owns and runs and alligator park in Florida.  Her mother used to dive into a swamp full of alligators each night to entertain the tourists, but she just passed away (not because of the alligators, though).  Very good so far!

i would have read Shakespeare but i seem to have lost my "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" (no Hamlet 'cuz he's an idiot. i took a quiz online a couple of years ago and it said that if i could be any Shakespeare lady it would be Lady Macbeth so i'm gonna read Macbeth)

*note: i always read "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo when i eat my breakfast*

*lol just found my Shakespeare copy....T.T*

"The Munchkinlander was in her nightgown, a drab sack without benefit of lace edging or piping. The green face above the wheat gray fabric seemed almost to glow, and the glorious long strait black hair fell right where the breasts should be if she would ever reveal any evidence that she possessed them. Elphaba looked something between an animal and an Animal, like something more than life but not quite Life" (Wicked)

Over the break I read Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks 

[caroline caraballo]

Often, when she cleaned, her mother would sing to herself, melodies from childhood, some of them in Polish, and Katie would listen secretly from another room, trying to make sense of the words.
