'The Inheritance of Loss'
"The Inheritance of Loss" is really, really depressing. I heard an interview a few weeks ago with Kiran Desai, and the book sounded interesting. So when we were at the bookstore and my dad asked what he should read next, I picked it up and said, "I heard this was good." It did, after all, win the 2006 Booker Prize.
I finished it today. I don't think Dad will like it. I don't think I liked it.
I'm reading "The Life of Pi" next. It also won the Booker Prize. It's also about an Indian. Named Patel. Just like "Inheritance." Oh boy.Labels: reading

Amy says, "When do you find so much time to read? I'm jealous at all the books you're plowing through." (1:12 PM, December 05, 2006)
Nichole says, "I read whenever I have the chance. Mainly when I ought to be doing other things, like the dishes or laundry.
I read in the mornings (if I get up before Pi), during "Sesame Street" and after Piper goes to bed. I don't feel like I'm as good a reader as Alex is. He might only read four books in a year, but he reads the heck of out those four books. He could have in-depth conversations on them years later. I read too fast, and I don't think I do a thorough job digesting what I read. I couldn't tell you the last three books I'd read if I hadn't been keeping my reading journal."
