Good morning everyone, I had a pretty productive reading weekend. I finished 'Life of Pi' by Yann Martel Friday evening. I did enjoy it, definitely a new perspective on life. I have his other book out currently to which I cannot remember the title but I will be reading it shortly.
I also completed 'The Things They Carried' this morning. There was a broken down trolley so I had some extra reading time sitting in the tunnel. This is an excellent book about the memoirs of fighting in the Vietnam War (the author is a veteran). I have requested a couple of his other books from the library. A colleague of mine commented on the blog that she enjoyed his writing, I can defintiely see why, he has a way of making the scenes really come to life.
Next up is Elie Wiesel's 'The Testament' which I am planning on beginning today either at lunch or on the commute home (hopefully without any signficant delays. I had the honor of hearing him speak at Boston U. while I was in college. I don't remember exactly what he talked about yet the venue was absolutely packed and was totally silent through every word he spoke.
I am looking forward to a very productive reading week, I am home four nights which is rare!
