I'm reading The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, winner of this year's Man Booker Prize. It's interesting so far, I just wish I had more time to read it.
Oh, guess what? I will!! In just two days, I'm off to Puerto Rico for vacation. I have a stack of books lined up, now it's just a matter of widdling it down to a few to take along. I'm not sure Scott is ready to see how many books I pack for a one week trip to the beach!
I can't wait to relax and read. Plus I get out of the icky rainy weather.
Hopefully I will come back with a long list of book recommendations and reviews.

I fear that I have been neglectful in chronicling the latest books I have been reading. And now I fear that I will forget what I've actually read.
I re-read most of The Namesake for a book club. Even knowing the story, it was still enjoyable. Every time I read anything of Jhumpa Lahiri's, I'm reminded about what a beautiful writer she is. It leaves me in awe.
I am now about two-thirds through The Omnivore's Dilemma. It has gotten much more interesting as it has progressed and I'm excited to finish it. I may hold off on the last section since book club is now scheduled to discuss it in January.
Meanwhile, I went to the bookstore today and used a gift card from my birthday (thanks Karen!) that was burning a hole in my pocket. I ended up with White Tiger (Winner of the Man Booker Prize) and The Zookeeper's Wife. I still want to read Molokai and am considering delving into a Philipa Gregory novel (I heard her on NPR and she was different than I expected).
If I recall any others that I've read since my last post, I will add them. In the meantime, I'm excited to start White Tiger.
