Jennifer Haigh, The Condition - a very enjoyable book!
From Publisher's Weekly: A dysfunctional New England family struggles toward normalcy in this poignant novel from PEN/Hemingway-winner Haigh, who follows the children of resentful, controlling, Paulette and distracted, needy Frank. Even during a childhood in idyllic Cape Cod, there are hints of a rocky future. When that future arrives, Billy, the most successful of the children, keeps a secret about his sophisticated New York life from almost everyone. Scott, formerly the uncontrollable brat of the bunch, sees himself in his own troubled son. Meanwhile, Gwen suffers from a genetic condition that prevents her from developing into womanhood. The story starts slowly, and while the setup feels familiar (a fractured New England family), the children take unexpected turns that shake up the narrative, leading to the most surprising twist of all: despite the sobering events chronicled, there's a strong nod to the healing power of love. Haigh allows the reader to sympathize with each of the family members, and, in turn, to see their flaws and better understand them. (June)

The Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot
I really don't enjoy poetry, but I am just in LOVE with T.S. Eliot.

Guy Deslisle, Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea
This is a graphic novel, and it's fascinating. The author has spent several months in North Korea where he worked for a producer of animated films (which it is very cheap to produce in North Korea). You really get a feel for the country - and it's scary.

I've now moved on to Little Women by the wonderful Louisa May Alcott. I've only read it, oh, about a million times, but it's one of my favourite books and the only book in the world that actually makes me cry while I read it.

It was a bit hard to get into at first, but it got really good not too far in. I'm so glad I decided to read it. Overall, I loved it.

The Well and the Mine ~ Gin Phillips
Synopsis: In 1931 Carbon Hill, a small Alabama coal-mining town, nine-year-old Tess Moore watches a woman shove the cover off the family well and toss in a baby without a word. For the Moore family, focused on helping anyone in need during the Great Depression, the apparent murder forces them to face the darker side of their community and question the motivations of family and friends. Backbreaking work keeps most of the townspeople busy from dawn to dusk, and racial tensions abound. For parents, it's a time when a better life for the children means sacrificing health, time, and every penny that can be saved. For a miner, returning home after work is a possibility, not a certainty. However, next to daily thoughts of death, exhausting work, and race are the lingering pleasures of sweet tea, feather beds, and lightning bugs yet to be caught.

I just finished House of Spirits by Isabel Allende
It took a little while to get into, but it was worth it. It's set in South America, and it spans four generations, so it's hard to summarize, but I definitely recommend it.

I read the Host yesterday.
I know, I know, Stephenie Meyer, what am I thinking? I don't know. I enjoyed it though. I think it's better than Twilight.

Black Hole.
I'm just barely starting it. It's a pretty big graphic novel that I've been wanting to check out for a while.
