Book 43: The Lacuna

I am starting book #43, ;The Lacuna' by Barbara Kingsolver tonight. I don't really know what this book is about and the cover expert is too long, so I'll just say that this is "a story of a man pulled between two nations as they invent their modern identities". I have read 3 other novels by Kingsolver and really liked all of them, so I hope to like this one too.

Book 42: Midwives

Today I will be starting Midwives by Chris Bohjalian. This is the story of a midwife who performs an emergency c-section on a mother she believes has died of a stroke. Then a question arises as to whether the mother was really dead or if the midwife inadvertently killed her. This sounds like a really interested story.

Book 41: Wuthering Heights

I am starting 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte today. I have never read books by any of the Bronte sisters, but have heard really good things about them. The line on the back of the book "One of the most haunting and atmospheric love stories ever written" really caught my eye. This is the only book Emily wrote, but she is very famous for it. I'm excited to read one of the classics.

Book 40: Toture the Artist

I am starting 'Torture the Artist' by Joey Goebel today. This is another book that Levi borrowed from my friend. Both of them say it is a very good story. The main character in the book is a writer/musician who has a horrible life. It turns out that his manager is the source of all the torture he deals with. The manager/industry is testing whether having more pain and suffering and a miserable life, will lead to more success as an artist.

Book 39: Fight Club

I started 'Fight Club' by Chuck Palahniuk today. Levi borrowed this book from my friend to read on the flight to India, so I thought I would read it too before returning it. I read about 45 pages while I was at the gym today and it seems like it will be a really fast read. I really like this movie. Since the book is usually better than the movie, I'm sure I will like the book too.
