I'm finishing up "A Tale of Two Cities." Although I'm a Dickens fan, I had steered away from his most serious work, preferring his more comic novels (or at least ones with comic characters). However, there are great dramatic scenes in "A Tale," despite its lack of humor.
sounds like fun stuff, ladies!! :-)
This may seem goofy, but I just read volumes 1, 2, and 3 of the Walking Dead graphic novels! I love the show on AMC and wanted to see how it followed the graphic novels. I'm really enjoying it! They are very fast reads, and I'm hoping to get to read them all! Definitely fun summer reading!!
Our recycling center here in Dennis, MA (on the Cape) has a great shed for people to take useful items they don't want & pick up other useful items that people didn't want but you can use. They usually have a lot of paperbacks and that's where I pick up all my summer reading. Just started a novel by Barbara Delinsky, picked up novels by Nora Roberts & Anne Rivers Siddons & Golda Meir autobiography.
what's your lightweight beach reading going to be? i believe strongly in lightweight stuff. it's all good for the imagination!
have any of you read the book "wild"? i'm watching oprah interview the author about her experiences on the trail....it sounds compelling. anyone?
Finished the book, surprised by the ending. Can't imagine Meryl Streep as the mother 15 years ago . . . now some lightweight beach reading.
oh i love the activity here. i love hearing what everyone is reading, old or new. robin, that interview with anna quindlan was probably very similar to what i saw on cspan. she talked alot about her writing process which i loved.....annie, GWTW was one of the best times i've ever had with a book. i, too, love the movie. but the book is more entertaining and more than 4 hours worth of continuous entertainment too! you're going to have so much fun!!!! if i didn't need a new pair of reading glasses, i'd read it along with you!
GWTW is a wonderful book - the movie is outstanding, but it doesn't do the book justice. However, don't even think about reading the sequel, Scarlett - it goes from bad to ridiculously bad.
Lisa - I knew it was made into a movie and I also heard a great interview with Anna Quinlan on NPR very recently, in whgich she talked about having to raise her younger siblings.
