Books I'm Hogging From The Library: The February 21, 2009 Edition
Well. It appears that I have picked every depressing book off the shelf. Carry on.
Secret Daughter: A Mixed-Race Daughter and the Mother Who Gave Her Away :: Race? Adoption? A heart wrenching story? I'm sold.
Comfort: A Journey Through Grief :: This mom writes about knitting and her grief over the death of her five-year-old girl. Somehow those two things are related, and I'm going to cry my way through the book to find out how.
Night :: A book about the Holocaust. (See? It's getting worse. I've gone from the death of one child to the death of a race. Someone. Pull me out.)
Anyone reading anything a little more chipper than this?

Night is an amazing book!!
More chipper?? No...not really. I'm reading the Bible, which is always inspiring, but not always chipper. You know, that whole killing the Messiah thing and Paul yelling at the churches who keep messing up. I like Paul, but if I had been a Corinthian, he probably would have irked me to no end.
I think I have mentioned this book to you before, but have you read Stiff by Mary Roach? You'd love it. the subtitle is, "The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers"
If Mary Roach is the gal that used to have a column in Reader's Digest...then I just love her! Funny as all get out! I'll have to check out her books.
