What a Reading Week!

Can you tell about when I started feeling sick? According to my reading list on the left, I basically started getting sick around the 12th and 13th. Being too sick to do anything and hating to sit in front of the television all day, reading is the best alternative. Of course I chose GLH because she's very good at distracting me from my pains and are quick reads. After 3 of those I've about had it, and was in desperate need of something that would make me laugh. So I chose Ron Carter and his comedies centered in Idaho, both quick day reads. Starting to feel better around the 18th, had enough of television so I decide to read a loaner from my sister. I'm always sceptical about recommendations, mainly cause I'm such a picky reader. So I figure she deserves this after the hard sell she had in getting me to even take it home with me. It was fantastic and I add my recommendation to hers. It takes place after World War II, in England. It's written as a series of letters between the characters, with an woman writer as the main recipient. It maintains a pleasant tone throughout while still allowing the seriousness of what occured with German occupation and bombing to come through to the reader. Definately a step or two above what I had been reading. The characters are quite enjoyable although some of the sub-characters can be difficult to remember, there's so many introduced.

Now having caught up my reading list, I think I need to try a more differcult read, something that isn't completely finished in a day or two; something that makes me take it slow. Which is funny cause that was what I was trying to figure out a week ago before I went down sick.
