let's talk books!

I am an obsessive reader. I try to read three books a week, but lately, it is more like two. The "reading the three books a week" thing started when I was about 20. I am fortunate to work at our local NPR affiliate (I moved to on call status with the boys) and they have a "free books" shelf. They are almost always current books that are FREE. Now that is a little slice of heaven. I always tell them they can "just pay me in books."

In the past few weeks, I have read:

Hope's Boy by Andrew Bridge (story about a boy who got caught up in the foster system and made it out to graduate from Wesleyan and Harvard Law School as well as a Fulbright Scholar.)

Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (I'm sure you have heard of it!)

Marley and Me by John Grogan (again, I'm sure you have heard of it.)

Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes Courter (another story of a girl who came out of foster care and has had great success.)

I am now reading A Wolf At The Table by Augusten Burroughs. He is a fabulous writer! (also wrote Running with Scissors)

Once I finish that, I am on to The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

What great books have you read lately??
