Quick book update

I'm up much too late, but wanted to get this down while I was thinking of it. It was apparently my mini-Indian weekend. lol #33 is The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. Another look at Indians in the United States but this one is a generational look at three members of a family. Poignantly deals with what it means to be a foreigner in a strange land and also with what shapes our identities and sense of self. I might have gotten frustrated with Gogol at times, but the book is well worth reading.

Now, to bed I go so that I can get the kids up for school in six hours. Night all. :)

Another quick book update and some random excitement

Number 34 on our hit parade is The Grand Tour: Being a Revelation of Matters of High Confidentiality and Greatest Importance, Including Extracts from the Intimate Diary of a Noblewoman and the Sworn Testimony of a Lady of Quality by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer. The sequel to Sorcery and Cecilia or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot.... Entertaining, but sadly not quite as engaging as the previous. J liked it quite a bit though.

I'm counting down the hours until tomorrow night. Season finales of GG *and* VM. I'll be watching GG with J and then heading out to watch Tivo'd VM with friends on the big screen. I can't wait! I wonder what snacks would be appropriate to take. Decisions, decisions.
