Oops...

I confess I forgot about this blog but I am going to update it now with my past and current reading choices so Laura won't feel quite so lonely :)

Let's see, after Three Cups of Tea I read:

The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning: Interesting but I found it hard to follow him sometimes because it seemed like the book was kind of randomly put together.

A Million Little Pieces by James Frey: Really really powerful. I know that there was the whole controversy on Oprah about the legitimacy of the story but it was really good just the same. I had to get used to the style of writing but I really felt awful for the main character the whole time because of all the stuff he went through in drug rehab.

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett: A great book. It's set in England in the 1100s and follows the building of a cathedral in Kingsbridge. Even though it was over 900 pages I never felt like it was too long. It constantly had some struggle going on between church and state which was interesting. The ending was NOT my favorite, though.

Zorro by Isabel Allende: GREAT! I love any of her writing anyway but this was interesting and a very different story line then what she normally writes. It makes me want to see the Zorro movies now!

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini: I'm currently reading this and love it although I'm not that far into it. I am a huge fan of The Kite Runner, though, because it started my current interest in Middle Eastern people and culture so I'm really excited about this book!

Unfortunately, school starts Monday so my reading choices are about to head downhill into the realm of boring textbooks.
