November's Reading List

  Well after a fairly slow start to October I did manage to finish the month with a better sense of accomplishment.  I still don't think I read as many books as I normally do in a month, but I felt I got my reading "mojo" back.  Let's hope it continues through November, where the cooler weather makes curling up with a book the ideal form of relaxation.

  What will I be reading in November?

  For Reading Groups:

• A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore
• The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James

 For Review:

• Hamlet's BlackBerry:  Building a Good Life in the Digital Age by William Powers (I did finally start this one and will have it done & reviewed in November - I promise!)
• Falling for Me:  How I Learned French, Hung Curtains, Travelled to Seville and Fell in Love by Anna David
• Stasiland:  Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall by Anna Funder

Readers' Poll:

• Fiction:  When She Woke by Hillary Jordan
• Non-Fiction:  Would you believe there was a 3-way tie?  I think I'll start with In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson, and if I have time I'll pick up Mennonite in a Little Black Dress and The Checklist Manifesto

I'm starting to look out for challenges for 2012 -- if you see any that sound interesting please let me know!
