#Read26Indy discussion

What are you reading in September?

I am starting with Relic by Preston & Child, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, and Fool Moon by Jim Butcher.

My 92nd was Michael Pitre's FIVES AND TWENTY-FIVES.

"Relic" was a great, creepy read. And a disappointing film adaptation.

THE BOOK WHISPERER is my 93rd. It was written by sixth grade language arts and social studies teacher Donalyn Miller.

CALIFORNIA by Edan Lepucki makes 94. There are better books to read.

ORPHAN TRAIN by Christina Baker Cline is my 95th.

Just finished #26!
Return to Tradd Street by Karen White

26. Daniel Silva: The Fallen Angel. Was just in Rome and read this because parts of it take place in that city. The Fallen Angel

Book #11: Larry Niven's "Ringworld" finished. Progress!

My 96th book is Hilary Jordan's WHEN SHE WOKE. Very good.

I had been hoping to enjoy Ringworld more than I did. It was tough for me to finish.

Benedict Carey's HOW WE LEARN is 97. Readable and informative.

Has anyone else read The Rosie Project? I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The main character - Don Tillman, a college professor in search of the perfect wife - is quirky and socially awkward yet intelligent, honest, funny, and lovable. His friend Rosie - who is a completely unsuitable candidate according to Don's rigid set of criteria - is outrageous and refreshing. A VERY enjoybale read!

I'll put it on my list, Stephanie. It sounds intriguing.

"Lamb" by Christopher Moore. Irreverent but the most inventive humor I've read in a long time.
I've also been working on "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See for several months and just finished. I loved the first half but thought the second half seemed random and lacked clear storytelling and so it took me forever to want to finish.
Now starting "Frog Music" by Emma Donaghue.

My 98th book is Ruth Ozeki's A TALE FOR THE TIME BEING. Thought provoking and different. A favorite of mine.

HOLDING EVERYTHING DOWN by William Notter is an outstanding book of poems steeped in Americana. Thank you, Jon Tribble

Thanks to Jon Tribble for introducing me to this fine poet.
