Finished

I finished reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz today. The book was a quick and interesting read. The characters are rich and unique and it has this conversational writing style that I really got into. I would highly recommend it.

Now I’m faced with the tough choice of what to read next. Maybe I’ll go back to What is the What by Dave Eggers. Tree of Smoke by Denis Johnson just looks too intimidating for right now. I might have to do some free weight lifting before I start that book. Or maybe I should go to one of the classics that I have yet to read, which include To The Lighthouse, Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, Jane Eyre, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and works by Flannery O’ Connor, among many others.

    You should read To the Lighthouse so you can discuss it with me when I re-read it for British Literature!

    ….or not.
