begging for book recs!
It has recently come to my attention that I own a working Anne Arundel County Public Library card, and, um, I work in a bookstore, wherein I get discount.
It's also come to my attention, not so recently, that the last book I started and finished was Half-Blood Prince. And that's a little depressing. However, I bought a bunch of books from the store the other day with a gift card, and Racheal gave me a couple of books for my birthday. Currently, my reading list looks something like:
The Year of Magical Thinking - Joan Didion (I'm about 3/4 of the way done)
A Man Without a Country - Kurt Vonnegut
Naked Pictures of Famous People - Jon Stewart
Long Way Round: Chasing Shadows Across the World - Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman
Interpreter of Maladies - Jhumpa Lahiri
The Robber Bride - Margaret Atwood
Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman
The last three are ones that I've picked up and read the first few chapters of, but never finished. Point being, I don't think it'll take me long to get through the list.
So! What are you guys reading? Any good book recs? I'm in to short stories and memoirs lately, but I'd be interested in hearing about new authors of any kind.
