After a visit to the half-price bookstore:
1. Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri – “Lahiri is likely my favorite living authors. (Chiam Potok is a favorite dead one, in case you were wondering.) This is her third book, second set of short stories. I’ve had this one on my list for a long time and have already finished the first story. Happy to have made the purchase.”
2. The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan – “I think a lot of people had to read this book in high school. Or they were banned from reading it in high school. Or something – my point is I feel like one of the few people who haven’t read it. I don’t even know whether or not it is good. So, I’m going to knock it off my want-to-read list.”
3. In the Beginning by Chiam Potok – “As I said, this guy is one of my favorites. The book was also $2, so I couldn’t pass it up. Don’t even know what it is about. Perhaps a follow up will be necessary.”
Hurray for returning to the literary world!
The Joy Luck Club is a good read! I enjoyed a couple of other of Amy Tan’s books as well.
