Frank has been giving me a hard time that I haven't been reading when I picked up two books at the thrift shop last week. He couldn't understand why I needed to add more books to my pile. It is not that I have not been reading - I had three different books going but none of them were grabbing me.
So to show him I started reading one of the new books, "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/13/books/review/013COVERPROSE.html
Interesting book. It is a memoir of growing up with very unconventional parents. A very nomadic existence with not enough food but being positively influenced despite an alcoholic father and a mother who pretty much ignored the kids.
