reading now.

the immortal life of henrietta lacks by rebecca skloot

“we must not see any person as an abstraction. instead, we must see in every person a universe with it’s own secrets, with it’s own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.” - elie wiesel (open quote to the book)

i have a different book cover, but i prefer the 2 above, and if you know me you know i’m a snob about that. i only just began the book, i’m about 20 so pages in and can already tell soon enough i won’t be able to put it down. my aunt gave this to me after she finished reading it in hawaii and loved it. i can’t believe i’m just starting.

i have a hot cup of tea next to me and a perfect evening to read on :)

quick update: books i’ve read from my september of traveling up to now.

the alchemist: i enjoyed it, but i knew while reading it that if i were to have read it back in high school i would have loved it much more. it has been a book i have been meaning to pick up for so many years. i guess i had such a high expectations for it that i was let down just based on that.

fear and loathing in las vegas: i have been told my multiple people tha tmy first h.s.t book should be the rum diary but i came across fear and loathing in a good will so i bought it. loved it, as i knew i would. i can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read his book, i feel i’ve been “planning to” ever since my freshman year of college, maybe before.

up in the air: not worth it. movie is way better

the girl with the dragon tattoo: really good, can’t wait to watch the sedish and soon to be released us movies! and to read the next 2 books

the lost summer of louisa may alcott: enjoyable, simple, easy read. nice little vacation book my grandma gave me

god bless you, mr. rosewater: i started this book a really long time ago but never got a chance to finish it. really good, as expected. i love vonnegut and it was really nice reading a book of his again.

one hundred years of solitude: well, i haven’t finished it. but i’ve read a good portion and i’m enjoying it but since it’s on the slower side for me, my attention span just wasn’t holding up at the moment.

the chronicles of narnia (1-3): so far i’ve only read the magician’s nephew and the lion, the with, and the wardrobe. i’m in the middle of the horse and his boy . i stopped one hundred years to read this because i wanted something fun and easy. it proved a good choice. i’m glad i’m finally reading these. 

reading list

just completed: ROOM by Emma Donoghue (really good, something i would have never picked up myself but i’m glad it was required for my fiction class)

in the middle of/goal to finish this week: On the Road by Jack Kerouac and Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

god, i need to start reading more again! this has been the slowest reading summer i’ve had. and there’s so much i want to devour!
