I've read a shitload lately ...
"Schrodinger's Ball" by Adam Felber - Eh. Clever at times but sort of stupid. Couldn't explain the plot if I tried.
"The Yiddish Policemen's Unit" by Michael Chabon - I like Michael Chabon, but this book was shit. I gave up 100 pages in.
"End of the Alphabet" by C.S. Richardson - Eh. Dying man wants to travel to 26 locations, A to Z. Short and sweet, unsatisfying ending.
"19 Minutes" by Jodi Picoult - Eh. Aftermath of a school shooting. Very fast read, touching at times.
"The Color Of Water" by James McBride - This was great. Memoir of a man whose white mother raised 12 black children
"Belles On Their Toes" - Sequel to "Cheaper by the Dozen" - the story of the 11-children family after the father dies (the oldest is only 18)
"The Last Chinese Chef" by Nicole Mones - Excellent. Food writer gets to watch as a Chinese-American chef prepares for a cooking competition. It is excellent with its praise of all the elements of Chinese cuisine and some of China's history.
"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen - Third best book I've read this year (First being "The Time Traveler's Wife" and second being "Farewell My Subaru"). Loved the story, the protagonist, the behind-the-scenes-of-an-old-circus background
"Can I Keep My Jersey" by Paul Shirley - Eh. Autobiography of team-less NBA player. Wasn't as fascinating as I thought it'd be, but he has a good sense of sarcasm and proportion.
"The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood - Reading now, am liking it so far. Sort of "1984" told in a woman's voice.
