Yeah, for me that WAS a lot! I think it's more than I read in the whole first year of my twins' life!#

Oops, forgot to say - Three Cups of Tea. Umm, it was good. I wasn't blown away by it like I thought I'd be. THe guy (Greg) is truly amazing and has done so much good work but I found the tone of the book a bit annoying. Greg Mortenson didn't write it himself (can't remember the other guy's name) and I found it a bit obsequious (sp?) or sycophantic. A bit over-egged perhaps. Still, the actual work that's going on in Pakistan and Afghanistan and Greg's approach to his work is to be respected and admired. He is very culturally-sensitive and a true humanitarian.
 
wow, many of you read a lot of great books in one month. i respect that.

in march i read:

denis leary's latest drivel- stay away from it
and
one day in the life of ivan denisovich by alexander solzyn... what's his face?

i started i think i love you, beth cooper but it bored me to death and i never finished it.

i want to maybe read atlas shrugged this month. i have studied objectivism and i hate it and i have not ventured into rand's fiction. i was told john galt gives a forty page sermon on a mount of sorts. i am curious to see how rand, as a literary artist, pulled this off. very few books could disturb aristotles unity of time as much as a forty page monologue- i'd like to survey her technique. in otherwords, what i want to know is- is she as artful as her worship commands? or is it just shallow art used as a prop, a backdrop, or vehicle for an ideology? i want to dedicate a month to studying it but is it too late to do it in april?
 
I read:

Kept - can't remember the author
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
The God of Small Things - Arundahti Roy
