summer reading

the first week or so of vacation, i was soo unproductive. i would work half-days, and then lounge in front of the tv for hours...felt so gross after the first week that i just had to do something, so i went to my friendly local public library. i used to read a good amount before i went back to school, so now i'm making up for lost time. so far, i've read:

- the secret life of bees by sue kidd
- the gesture life by chang-rae lee
- east of eden by john steinbeck
- harry potter and the half-blood prince
- the kite runner by khaled hosseini

i'm no literary critic, but i actually liked all of them...some less than others, but overall, i enjoyed all of them to some degree. however, i highly, highly, highly recommend the kite runner...

i'm now reading interpreter of maladies by jhumpa lahiri, a collection of short stories. i've only read the first one so far, but already, she seems to be an amazing storyteller.

good stuff...dude, i'm such a nerd.
