"I Shall Not Hate" by Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish. It's a very touching, very tragic story...

I don't really like reading tragic stories when I know they're going to end badly...

I'm reading The Gift of Rain by Tan Twang Eng. Pretty cover...pretty good book.

I have always had an interest in old American Indian cultures and lifestyles. I am now reading a non-fiction dealing with the Apache Indians and particularly Cochise and Geronimo... Just started today and already learning some interesting things about Cochise...

I left the book at work, but I'll bring it home tomorrow and edit in the title...

Almost Like Being in Love by Steve Kluger. A little hard to get into but now I can't stop...I started with cheering for the obvious main characters but now, there's a third and I don't know how things will ever work.

It's taking me extra long because I kinda don't want to know. For fear, ya know? xD

On Friday I marathoned volumes 3-6 of Scott Pilgrim. It was really good! I want to see the film now. I hear the trailer isn't a great representation of it, which is lucky because I didn't find it very encouraging.

And now I'm reading The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro. Pretty weird so far, and supposedly it becomes far weirder.

I don't really like Kazuo Ishiguro...people think I'm crazy.

The Vanity of Human Wishes by Samuel Johnson. It's a poem but it's quite interesting.

If you've read Never Let Me Go and didn't like that, then you are indeed crazy.

That's actually the one I like least of the ones I have read. I will explain one day when I don't have to write things that are actually for marks. >_<

I'm sorry. Hugs?

I need a new book. Anyone read anything really clever lately? Any kind of clever, really.

@Fen

I've read some good books lately.

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson is really good. I'm reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by... I forget who. But that's also very good. Aaaaaand I haven't read it recently, but The Book Thief is definitely the best book there ever was.

"The Plains of Passage" by Jean Auel

(#4 in the 'Earth Children' series)

Just came across it the other day after a buddy of mine and I had discussed the week before. It was on the shelf for sale at the library...

I had read the first three many, many, many years ago when they first came out...

Looking for #5 'the Shelters of Stone' or something like that...
