What to Read?

My list of books to read keeps growing – I can’t keep up!

The Goldfinch by Donna TarttFor one book group I am about to read The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. For the other I need to read Indian Voices: Listening to Native American Voices, by Alison Owings. My friends Denny Davidoff and Connie Rockman recommended The Bully Pulpit, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. I will buy that for my iPod, so I can listen in the gym and at the nail salon. Or maybe I should get Out of Order, by Sandra Day O’Connor, or Sugar in the Blood, by Andrea Stuart. I have even more titles listed in my ‘want to read’ section on Goodreads.

Perhaps I should stop reading The New York Times Book Review for a few months while I catch up! But I might miss something important.

I’ve just started The Land of Honey, the book that Chinenye Obiajulu, a Nigerian-Canadian woman, asked me to read and review. And I’m almost finished reading Dodging Machetes, How I Survived Forbidden Love, Bad Behavior, and the Peace Corps in Fiji, by Will Lutwick. He is an entertaining writer with marvelous descriptions of the scrapes he gets into and how he survives! I almost forgot – I’m also listening to Foreign Gods, Inc. by my friend Okey Ndibe.

What are you reading now? And what’s on your list to read?
