Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer

Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer

A meteor hits the moon and knocks it closer in orbit, messing with the earth's climate majorly (do you like my technical terminology?). Good stuff. The entire book is 16 year old Miranda's journal entries. I liked it. Definitely made me want to stockpile way more non-perishable food than we currently have. You'll like the few veiled references to President Bush.

the history of love

by Nicole Krauss

Ah, such a lovely book. She's married to Jonathan Safran Foer, and her writing style is definitely more similar to his than anyone else's I've read. The book is about........friendship, death, love, the Holocaust, books, deception......yeah, it's good. 255 pages.

no, really, that's what it's about....

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski

Whew -- long and intense. Been called a modern-day Hamlet -- set in Wisconsin -- with dogs. Yep. I was telling somebody about it the other day, speaking in Spanish, which is not my first language, and I'm pretty sure they thought I was just translating poorly. :)
