    I enjoyed, not everything in it jived for me, but overall it was a good book. My husband and I read the same book at the same time and it was one of his picks.

    I finished it a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was well written and came together nicely at the end.

    I saw a show on tv a few weeks ago about a killer whale attacking a great white off the coast of those islands. They called the main guy from the book (Pete?) out to check it out. Cool stuff.

    Currently reading Stranger Than Fiction by Chuck Palahniuk.

    Anyone familiar with Amy Hempel? There is a short story relating to her work in Stranger Than Fiction and kind of got me interested. Curious if anyone has any opinions on her work.

    Water for Elephants


    I just finished reading this (first book I've read in a few years, LOL). I enjoyed it. It wasn't jaw dropping but just kept me interested.

    Before this the last ones I read were:
    Dewey (was very good :) ),
    Lost City Of Z (I also liked, suppose to make a movie of this)
    Jailing The Johnston Gang (local PA "gang". Pretty much told the story of these local legends. Interesting stuff)

    Definitely not life changing but it is a page turner. I am about half way through and I am rather enjoying it for the most part.

    Water for Elephants


    That's the only one of hers that's really good. Her latest, Ape House, is dreadful which is too bad b/c bonobo's are cool but the book is awful. I can't wait to see the movie of Water for Elephants.

    Many years ago. I'd read most of Vonnegut's stuff and I thought that one was the best. He had such a strange style but he really seemed to pull it off in that one.

    Wish I hadn't seen the trailer for it before I finished the book. You know how you get certain imagery in your head and the movie just f's it all up for you.
