I know that my timing is off, but I wanted to add my two cents anyway! Two of my favorite authors are Barbara Kingsolver and Bill Bryson. I've read Kingsolver's "Prodigal Summer" three times already and will certainly read it again, and "A walk in the Woods" was my first read by Bryson, but not my last. He manages to add knowledge with humor in every book. Definatly, laugh out loud stuff. I also read "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving and loved his way of turning a plot in and around itself, kind of like Amy Tan does. I don't think that I could read the Asimov book you are describing, it seems that I have developed ADD since child bearing. I can't seem to focus on any one thing anymore for more than 5 minutes or so! Have fun with your books and enjoy those luscious truffles!!! |
