What we're reading

22 January 2011 | Marathon
I just finished Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky...HIGHLY recommend this WWII tale of Nazi occupied Paris. Moving, complex. The people of France sell their souls & lose their humanity in the process by co-existing with the enemy. The novel is all the more compelling when you learn that the author wrote it just a short time before she, a Russian Jew, was arrested & deported to Auschwitz, where she died in 1942. This work was not discovered until 2006!

I also breezed thru Carl Hiasson's Star Island. Funny, yet formula book. Quick, satisfying read.

Now reading Waiting for Snow in Havana by Carlos Eire. A story of an 11-year-old boy of privilege who is airlifted out of Cuba during the revolution in 1964 while his parents are left behind. It's a heartbreaking & joyeous memoir of growing up.

Bill is into the 3rd Steig Larson book...gobbling them up like buttery popcorn!

We're both enjoying having a Kindle EACH!!
