Reading list
Picked up two books today:
What should I Do With My Life by Po Bronson.
This isn't a hokey self-help book, though arguably I should probably get one of those, too. It's a collection of stories about people who went searching for their "destiny," or their destiny found them, or they somehow lost track of it as they were living their lives. I was just walking past one of those center stacks at the bookstore, and the cover jumped out at me. The first few pages really drew me in, and... here's the kicker... it was marked down to $7 from $24! It's well written, and within the first four or five stories, I've cracked a few smiles and gotten a little choked up. Not with emotion, though... I'm way too macho for that. I was choking on, uh... beer. Boo ya!
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.
Sounds like a really interesting concept, and the first few pages had a lively tone to them. If it's any good, you'll probably hear more about it in a little while.
Oh yes, and I recently finished reading A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby. Purnima, I gotta thank you again for getting me to read Hornby's books. There are a select few authors whose books I keep an eye out for in the New Releases section every time I hit up the store, and he's now one of them.
