I love a good novel and will chose reading over watching TV any day. I’m always open to recommendations for a good book. I don’t have a particular genre I enjoy more than another ~ the book just has to catch and keep my interest. Here are the ones I’ve read recently :
* Freakonomics by Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner, it will make you rethink your ideas regarding cause and effect. Plus, it assures us our children will not be damaged no matter what moniker (and confusing spelling) we saddle them with.
* Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, WOW ~ What a wonderful story about a dedicated public servant and a great intellect who also had his share of shortcomings. An interesting paradox. Excellent writing!
* Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, everyone has probably read this one since I held off reading it for so long thinking I couldn’t possibly be interested in the life of a Geisha. I was wrong. This was a gripping story that held my interest all the way through. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of watching the movie on one of our flights ~ hated it.
* Camel Club by David Baldacci, decent suspense thriller with an intriguing premise and bigger than life characters. Good beach or poolside read.
I just started The Devil Wears Prada (thanks for the recommendation, Nicole). I’m only 2 chapters into it but so far it’s a fun escape.
Let me know what your recommendations are ~ Happy Reading!
