after completing shadow of the wind way back before i moved to london, here's what i've read since then.
i reread another favorite, harry potter and the deathly hallows by jk rowling. good as always.
then to pique my curiosity, i got sucked into 'the girl' series by stieg larsson: the girl with the dragon tattoo, the girl who played with fire, and the girl who kicked the hornet's nest.
just before departing for london i read little bee by chris cleave. coincidentally the book took place in a suburb of london, in kingston. ironically this is where my university is. i suppose it was a fitting book to read just before leaving.
school books have generally taken precedence these days, but i've managed to read a few since being here.
first i read extremely loud and incredibly close by jonathan safran foer. i read his everything is illuminated back in 2009 after purchasing it at shakespeare and co. in paris. i've been a fan ever since. however, i think i preferred the former. it was the story of a young boy who loses his father in 9/11 and how he is coping with the tragedy.
i just finished half broke horses by jeannette walls. it is the story of her tougher than nails grandmother. i had read her memoir the glass castle and was glad to read another one of her novels. thank you L for mailing it to me.
currently, i am reading ghostwritten by david mitchell.
