So, I just finished reading
Beatrice & Virgil by Yaan Martel, author of
Life of Pi. It was a fast, compelling read and overall, I would rate it "good". I can't readily recommend it, however, because of its dark nature, including graphic violence. Martel's effort was far-reaching, though sometimes feeling disjointed and contrived. This absurdist, allegorical tale of a donkey and monkey was highly thought provoking and would make for a great book club discussion.
Josh has finished
The Mixed Up Files....calling it "pretty good." He also finished the 5th Harry Potter and can't wait to start the 6th volume. In the meantime, he is reading
The Phantom Tollbooth...one of my childhood favs....
Jillie just finished a chocolate cake...
