Book list as of June 2011:
 |
| When I first began Les Miserables, I was a bit overwhelmed. 1194 pages long, tons of French history, and the first 54 pages or so gave great detail to the priest. Yikes. But when I began reading it again today I finally met Jean Valjean and the story began to pick up. Maybe after I finish this one I can try and tackle War and Peace... but we'll have to see. |

As always, Lewis is a wonderful, if not challenging, read. He addresses things in such a way that I never would have thought to, and explains things so well. I am having to read it a little at a time, but I look forward to discovering what he has to say.

| Nero Wolfe is my literary junk food, but it's not actually junk food. The mysteries are fairly easy reads but the writing really is very good and he always keeps me guessing and laughing. I read this to give my brain a break from Les Miserables and Weight of Glory. I highly recommend Nero Wolfe to anyone who likes a good mystery. |
