I read all this on the plane and in hotel rooms, don't give me shit, I only packed poetry and adventure books and had to read what everyone else brought.


57) Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl, 514 pgs
It's NOT about physics, it's about some stupid teenage girl and her stupid father! I hate women writers.

58) The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon, 414 pgs
.....THAT WAS REALLY GREAT!

59) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling, 607 pgs (UK Version)
I was not disappointed. Even amazed in some places (SNAPE!).

60) There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell: A Novel of Sewer Pipes, Pageant Queens, and Big Trouble by Laurie Notaro, 320 pgs
It's not that I love Laurie Notaro's writing, I love the insane people in her life. How her grandfather would dumpster-dive old bread. Her grandmother thought Pepcid was the solution for everything and consumer goods are too expensive, and of course, the drunk friend Nikki. Her first book I laughed so hard I fell off the couch and couldn't shove the dog off me. I keep hoping for a repeat performance in following books and don't quite get it. A good giggle though.

Just finished HP today. Satisfying. I kept wondering if she used software to track the plot threads. And yeah, totally, SNAPE! Loved it.
