men are better then women~by dick masterson
diary~by Chuck Palahniuk (another on of my favorite authors
Saturday night I started In My Father's House by E. Lynn Harris. I finished it last night around 9:30. This book was a little over 300 pages. I really enjoyed it. It was my first time reading one of his books. It's a shame he died so early.
I finished Holy Rollers by ReShonda Tate Billingsley in less than 8 hours. I'm so proud of myself! This book was over 300 pages. It's about a trio of friends who go looking for men at a minister's conference. They all meet someone and basically you have to read the book to see how it ends up. It's a Christian fiction novel and I enjoyed it considering I'm an atheist. I didn't feel there was a lot of overt religion.
I'm trying to get some reading accomplished before classes start.
I have about 8 books I need to pick up at the library this week. I can't wait!
I read it when it first came out so I'm not sure if I'd feel the same way today but, when I read it, I thought it was FABULOUS!
The story was incredible and was made even better by the fact that this was the author's first novel and that HE was writing from the viewpoint of a WOMAN, a geisha no less. Oh, and that the author isn't even Asian. I thought it was a big thing for him to tackle but he did it VERY well.
I would read it if I were you. In fact, if I come across it, I think I'll read it again to see if I enjoy it now as much as I did then.

Awesome! I hope it's as fabulous as I remember it to be.
ETA: I just re-read the first few pages and I think it just might be. Oh wow! I just noticed that it was first published in 1997, which is when I would have read it. And I still remember that it was terrific? Then it must be.
I just finished reading "Every Last One" by Anna Quindlen and "One Day" by David Nicholls. I'm having a hard time reviewing them, because they both left me feeling depressed (or was that just my state of mind ).
They are both easy reads, but neither left me feeling summer-happy.
I just finished "One Day" as well. It was bittersweet, in that the dialogue and depiction of a friendship were spot on and warm and funny, but it didn't have a happy ending.
I also read "The Lost City of Z", which is non-fiction about a failed search for El Dorado in the Amazon. It was a good read.
