Current reads

Every night before I get into bed, I go through a stack of books hoping to find something that will entice my imagination for 40 minutes before I go to sleep. I recently picked up a book Megan recommended a while back . It's a book of short stories called The love of a good woman by Alice Munro. Cortez Island is really good.

Last week when I went down to VA I perused the shelves in the basement and dad's office hoping to come back with some more pre-bedtime entertainment. Below you will find a list of books in the STACK.

Recently purchased:
The amazing adventures of cavalier and clay by Michael Chabon---have read about 100 pages but am finding it a little dense. Otherwise, a great recommendation from Megan

July's People by Nadine Gordimer--Not yet read

You can't get lost in Capetown by Zoe Witcomb-- Finished --good feminist read about colored girl in SA

Retrieved from Dad's office:
Shaka Zulu--Read about half before my surgery

South Africa, A Modern History by T.R.H Davenport--Not exactly a riveting bed time read, but good to have and read from time to time to increase one's historical knowledge.

Retrieved from basement:
MiddleSex --Bought and started to read a couple of years ago but finding it a bit strange, I gave up. The appearance of Jeffrey Euginides on a recent Oprah show inspired me to try again. He seemed so clever and likable and talked about all the research he put into writing the book. It took him 9 years!

Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar--bought a few years ago but never started for some reason.
