Nov. 7th, 2009 08:43 amShelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading by Lizzie Skurnick - The premise of this book is that it recaps books I read as a kid. I read every single book recapped in this book when I was a kid, so I thought it was GREAT - the recaps were very funny and spot on. It made me very nostalgic.
Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal an Renewal by Julie Metz - I wanted to read this book after reading an interview with the author from the New York Times. I read this in one sitting - v. good writing, and like reading about the aftermath of a train wreck.
The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible by A. J. Jacobs - I am not religious in the slightest, but this book was very funny.
Heroic Measures by Jill Ciment - Having long low dogs myself (Corgis) the beginning of this book and the scenes at the emergency vet gave me heart palpitations. I loved the ending. I also loved the descriptions of tv news coverage of "breaking events!!!!"
Deep Waters by Barbara Nadel - Super.
The Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life as an Experiment by A. J. Jacobs - A series of short articles previously published in Esquire. Funny.
