two books read, two books partially read
Nov. 4th, 2007 08:16 amI reread Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story by Christopher Moore as a prelude to reading the new sequel, You Suck. BF:ALS was still good the second time around. The turkey bowling thing always makes me smile.
I followed this up with Here If You Need Me: A True Story by Kate Braestrup. This is the story of a woman who went to seminary and became a chaplain to the Maine Game Warden service after the accidental death of her husband. This book was funnier and less grieving than I expected - I thought it might be more like The Year of Magical Thinking, but the author is mostly focused on how she moves on rather than remembering her life with her husband. I think
hanseth and
sylvanstrom would like it, because it's set in Maine with the wardens, but I suspect a lot of other folks would enjoy it, too. She talks about spirituality a lot (duh) but in a lighthanded way. Four stars.
