I missed it…
How could I overlook mentioning the Man Booker winner announcement!?
Anyway, as you probably already know Kiran Desai won for The Inheritance of Loss. It was released back in Janurary and is published by Hamish Hamilton.
Next one up
The Deep South group over on LibraryThing has just started reading “A Confederacy of Dunces“. If you’d like to chime in on the conversation, click on over!
Just finished…
Juan Williams’ Enough. I picked up this book after a great post by one of Birmingham’s more prominant bloggers.
I thought this critical look at racial divides in our country was very logical and clearcut, which (as I understand it) is one of the reasons Williams has come under attack for his statements. Too much cold logic and not enough emotion and historical perspective.
As always I posted my thoughts over on LibraryThing.
My advice: Read the book and decide for yourself.
