Debbie "DJ" is 58% done with The Days of Abandonment

Absolutely amazing book. The main character has pulled me so completely into her world I have to stop for a while. Hope to get back to soon.

Debbie "DJ" is 65% done with The Empathy Exams

Started out good, but hardly holds my intrest anymore. Things have turned into philosophical questions, and half the time I can't even interpret what she is asking/saying.

Debbie "DJ" is 55% done with Unveiled Threat

Wow, this is a fantastic read! So far Tavakoli gives a clear history of Iran, showing how fundamentalist Islam gained power, and how women are suffering in innumerable ways.

Debbie "DJ" is 30% done with Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory

I love the "insiders" view of most anything, and this does not disappoint. So far I'm shocked that a twenty something would be given so little training to do such an important job. Not much reverence in anything anymore, not even in caring for the dead.

Debbie "DJ" is 54% done with The Girl with a Clock for a Heart

Am liking the mystery, but seems too drawn out. For example, what each character wears is described...?

Debbie "DJ" is 25% done with The Nurses: A Year of Secrets, Drama, and Miracles with the Heroes of the Hospital

I think Shonda Rhimes should create a new show called "Nurses." Shocking what they must put up with!

Debbie "DJ" is 10% done with Aquarium

This is already so exquisite. The writing, the comparisions between aquarium fish and humans, so philosophical and insightful. These are fish that I've never seen before, Each chapter is opening with a beautiful photo, which might be better if not an ebook.

Not as smitten with this character Ove as in the beginning. Think the book could have been shorter.

Debbie "DJ" is on page 165 of 233 of The Enchanted

The writing is so full of imagery, I feel as if I am there. An ancient dungeon, death row prisoners, and the golden horses whose feet I hear stampeding underground. AMAZING!

Hilarious! A cantankerous old man who just wants to die. Damn those neighbors, they keep getting in his way! (Priceless reference to "Dexter")

Debbie "DJ" is 35% done with Men Explain Things to Me

Solnit is really lying out the facts here. A look at male gender and it's innate violence.

Debbie "DJ" is 90% done with The Dinner

I LOVE this book! After about the 20% mark this book takes off like a rocket, and think I started reading just as fast. Every review I've peeked at mention not liking the characters, while I find "unlikable" characters irresistible. I'd call this a fast paced psychological thriller.

I'm loving this read...I'm inside the main characters mind, all the things we secretly think, and wonder, and worry about...fascinating! Also, must comment on the amazing writing!
