What I'm Reading

I have been meaning to blog about the novels that I've read over the summer, but I've been lazy, hey better late than never, so here goes....

I already mentioned 'The namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri, which I absolutely loved and would recommend to anyone who struggle with feeling like they don't belong. My next read was 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hosseini, I also enjoyed this one, although not quite as much as 'The Kite Runner' by the same author. I also read 'Peony in Love' by Lisa See. I was so very impressed by this author's novel, 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan' that I did not hesitate in picking up her next novel, however it was not exactly my cup of tea. Next on my list was 'What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day' by Pearl Cleage, this was a touching and entertaining read.
Finally, I am currently reading 'The Grass is Singing' by Doris Lessing. I will let you know how this one goes, it has been pretty depressing so far.
P.S. My son is currently reading 'The story of King Arthur and His Knights'. There is nothing better than a classic.
