Alan Bennett: The Uncommon Reader: A Novella
A really interesting book about the premise of the Queen becoming an avid reader. (***)
Dave Eggers: A Hologram for the King
Super easy read that was engaging. (***)
Dennis Lehane: The Given Day: A Novel
Gripping book with awesome character development. It's always amazing to read people who can easily fit into other frames of reference. (****)
Julie Orringer: The Invisible Bridge (Vintage Contemporaries)
It's definitely depressing at points and a bit long winded but it's overall a good story. (***)
Mindy Kaling: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)
Must read for dads with daughters and maybe even more must read for the daughters. (****)
Patti Smith: Just Kids
I'm not much of a fan of either of the artists featured (Patti Smith and Robert Mappelthorpe), but the book is very compelling taking me into a new world and time that I was not really aware of. (***)
Colum McCann: Let the Great World Spin: A Novel
A wonderfully gritty, compelling set of interwoven stories told by a gifted author. (*****)
Stieg Larsson: The Girl Who Played with Fire (Vintage)
A quicker read than the first installment, but the end of it was very unsatisfying. I suspect it's meant to get me to read the next one. (***)
Stieg Larsson: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
An interesting and well written book. (****)
Pat Conroy: The Prince of Tides: A Novel
An absolute must read. (*****)
