| | I am still Reading Thirteenth Tale (and enjoying it), but I took some time in that book to read a couple others:
1) Firewalk by Anne Logstone
This was a book Jing gave
me to read while she was gone. Despite what the main title might
sound like, it isn't a romance book. It is fantasy. I am
not really into the genre, but the book was ok (I was able to finish
it). I don't think I would ever read it again, but I am glad to
have broaden my horizons. The main character is able to
manipulate fire. She has to marry a man from another country (for
an alliance between the two countries). And, uh, stuff
happens.
2) Lucky by Alice Sebold
It is the author's memoir.
The
book starts with the author getting raped and beat in a park when she
was a college freshman. The cops told her she was lucky in comparison
because a girl was killed there. The book chronicles the time
after (how other people reacted to what happened to her and how she
dealt with the rape, school and the trial of her rapist). It
isn't a happy book, but still a good book.
3) Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
I thought I should read a
classic novel, too (Laurie warned me that this book was bad).
Laurie was right. I didn't like this book. I didn't like
the characters. And it was SO slow moving. It is a gothic
novel about a bunch of English country bumpkins. Catherine and
Heathcliff like each other but marry others. Supposedly, it is a
"tragic" story. What is truly tragic, is the time I spent
reading it.
