Just finished The Spirit Level, which talks about social and health disparities. A great novel that I enjoyed was Say Her Name, which came out in April and is written by Francicso Goldman. In the artists' realm, Blue Nude by Elizabeth Rosner was also very good.Katrinahttp://katrinawoznicki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-54218788698367971572011-08-01T16:08:10.558-04:002011-08-01T16:08:10.558-04:00I'm reading: Suffer the Children: The Case aga...I'm reading: Suffer the Children: The Case against Labeling and Medicating and an Effective Alternative<br />by Marilyn Wedge<br />Long title, but interesting read so far. Lots of good info. I'll be ready for a fun novel after I finish it though!<br />Recently I finished The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Sundays at Tiffanys.

But an interesting thing happened while i was reading that book, and I think it will inspire a series of or one large painting for me.

Since the school cycle doesn't apply to me any more, summer doesn't feel any less busy than the rest of the year. <br /><br />But let's see - over the last couple months, I've been reading:<br />Oryx & Crake (M. Atwood) - very good, probably the best thing I've read lately<br />Siddhartha (H. Hesse) - compelling<br />The Invisible Man (HG Wells) - ok<br />Tribes (S. Godin) - interesting<br />Princess & the Goblin (G. Macdonald) - I love kids' books, especially classics<br />Strange Case of the Origami Yoda (T. Angleburger) - cute<br />Never Eat Alone (K Ferrazzi) - useful<br />Quidditch Through the Ages (JK Rowling) - cute<br /><br />I buy books @ Goodwill for $1-3. I agree entirely about the Kindle...it's not for me.LsLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400923801862762619noreply@blogger.com
