What are you reading? (May 07)
The Hungry Tide by Ghosh: I don't know if I'll finish it - I'm kind of bored
YOU on a diet: It has a lot of fluff, but if you just read the gray sections, it is very helpful
Back Roads: I read this a while ago, but didn't realize it was the same book until I was half way through. It was good, so I finished it.
I've got a stack I'm going to read, starting with The Labyrinth.

I'm a little annoyed with myself. I just started reading "Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures". I was swayed by it, because it won the Giller Prize, and it IS well-written.
But it's medical fiction, and I am a wuss and should have known better. I put it down when they started (poetically) cutting open the cadavers.

I read Because She Can by Bridie Clark. It's the Devil Wears Prada for the publishing world. It was fluff, but I needed fluff.
Now I'm reading the not-so-fluffy Astrid and Veronika by Linda Olsson. It takes place in Sweden and is about the unlikely friendship of an elderly woman and a younger one.[/u]

I'm reading "The Year of Magical Thinking" and it's very beautiful, but OH MY WORD it's sad. I keep thinking about my mother too, it's only as I get older that I can start to understand how it must have felt for her to have her spouse/life partner die at a young age.
