the need to read

While on Holiday, I'm really enjoying the extra reading time. I finished Unaccustomed Earth, which was great, and next in the stack is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. I haven't ever read Plath & am looking forward to diving in.

Know of a good book? Please share. I'd love to hear what your favorites are & add them to my Holiday reading list!

LOve the red table lamp next to your stack of books! I have a good read for you, it's called "Anybody Out There?" by Marian Keyes. It's funny, sad and a great love story...let me know when you'd like to borrow it!

Awesome lamp!! My favorite author lately is Augusten Burroughs. Possible Side Effects is one of his best.
Enjoy your books!

jules is so right about that gorgeous lamp! you'll love the bell jar. i would recommend vikram seth's a suitable boy...although a little proustian...it's worth it!

I can't believe it! "The Bell Jar" is next on my list too! I was in the mood to try a classic, and picked that up a couple of weeks ago! What are the odds of that? One of my favorite books of all time is "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. It is a compelling story about life in a dystopian society that is unlike anything I had ever thought of.
