Fiction

Finally, my turn came up at the library. Wow. By about page 40 I could see why Doerr won the Prize for this. His words drip like little diamonds into your mind. (Heh, see what I did there?)

Halfway through, now, it's getting pretty creepy. This was the stuff I didn't want to read. Nazis. I do love, though, how the chapters go back and forth. A swinging, soothing rhythm. But then, all of a sudden, there's 2 chapters that jump to the future. Then it goes back. Not sure, yet, how I feel about that. It is certainly, though, a book that fills my mind.

Speaking of Newfoundland, I went to the thrift store today and found The Shipping News by Annie Proulx. This has been on my list for some time but my library didn't have it. We don't do foreign authors. I also got an audio of Atwood's The Blind Assassin. So I shall soon be immersing myself in Canadia.

I also have strong feelings for Tibet. I hope to find online those scarletwoman mentioned, then I will donate them to my library. Spreading the words, a little bit at a time.

Happy reading!
