BOOK UPDATE:
[Numero]

I am currently reading...
Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte
Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood- Koren Zailckas
Fast Food Nation- Eric Schlosser

Recently Finished...
(1) Invisible- Paul Auster
(2) The Brooklyn Follies- Paul Auster
(3) The Time Traveler's Wife

Paul Auster is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. His writing is beautiful, but real. I read Invisible first and immediately fell in love. The Brooklyn Follies surprised me by surpassing the first. I can't wait to read more of his novels.
On the contrary, I found The Time Traveler's Wife underwhelming. It didn't live up to the hype I have heard from others. Extremely long, it did keep my interest. But, I was not moved by the novel nor did I take away anything more than a few shed tears. A good beach read possibly, but I would rather spend my time on a book that has more of an effect.

Enjoy your New Year's Parties & survive the headache in the morning (know I will be suffering right along with you)!
