11/22/63 by Stephen King
Format: Audiobook
Thoughts: I like it more so far than I thought I would. I'm about a quarter of the way through (it's long!) and things are getting creepy. I relish the idea of the obdurate past barring an easy time of what we think we should be able to control.
A Friend of the Family by Lauren Grodstein
Format: Kindle
Thoughts: This book, a sophomore novel, is good. As always, I appreciate a well-written narrative from a character the opposite gender of the author. The story is tense with suburban woe and the inalienable truth of self-serving human nature. The plot isn't sweeping, or epic, but its themes are real.
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Format: Kindle and audiobook
(I'm having a hard time getting through this, so I've switched from Kindle to audio)
Thoughts: I loved, really loved, Lauren Oliver's Before I fall so I was happy to shell out full price for the Kindle format special edition e-book. But after the first couple of chapters, I put it down and wasn't able to pick it up again. The tone is a bit depressive, but I can feel the dampened rage bubbling beneath the wet blanketed surface and I look forward to getting on with reading this.
