BOOKS
A Thousand Cuts by Simon Lelic
Mrs. Mental-Multivitamin rarely lets me down, and her recommendation of this book was quite possibly, the best yet. The experience of reading this was like my experience reading The Handmaid's Tale. I had to go slowly. I was compelled to read the book, but I often found myself so agitated and angry that I would have to put it down to give myself a little breathing room. It was fascinating and terrifying and so beautifully conceived and written. It challenged me ... how many books can say that these days?
Really. ONE book finished in the entire month of August. Just One.
Ah, but the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder and the kids are back in school and I am piling up books and recommendations for the Fall and Winter reading seasons.
Books in August: 1
Books in 2012: 55
