Recent Books

Last night, I stayed up late finishing The Rice Mother. I really enjoyed it - I always appreciate a story that's told from different people's points of view (or should that be point of views?). It follows an Indian Malaysian family from the 1920s through the 1990s. Sad, but gripping.

Below are the two books I read prior to this one. Notice a theme?
The one on the left was really interesting to me - as outlandish as it was at times, there was a truth to it and its focus on the ties of family. The one on the right was a quick read, akin to watching a tv movie instead of seeing a film.

Thanks to Anissa for turning me on to Photobucket!
