What to read - what to read
Can't decide what to read next. Spent 2 hours at Borders yesterday just walking around and looking at the NY Times Bestseller list. I hate that it's always the same authors. Where are all the NEW authors??? Any suggestions for new books??? Anyone??

Finished my book!!!
Well, I did it, I finally gave in and finished the last of Half Broke Horses and it didn't disappoint. I fell in love with Jeannette's grandmother Lily. She was smart, strong, independent, resilient, and surprisingly, everything I found her mother not to be. I may need to re-read The Glass Castle to get a better look at this again. I want to read to better understand her life. It's like when you read a self help book and apply it to your life or you have a major breakthrough about something from the past and you try and understand who you are now and why you were that way. It's the same thing with this book, I want to go back to the glass castle and figure out her mother. The end of the book briefly covers her mother and the end notes explain why she wrote about her grandmother and not her mother which is great. I definitely suggest reading this 1st and then the Glass Castle. Thank you Jeannette Walls for a fantastic book!
