The Anthologist
OH oh oh what a great book--that is, if you are into the quirky, thoughtful, non-plot-driven world of Nicholson Baker. In this new one his hero, Paul Chowder, spends countless hours sitting in his white plastic chair actively not writing the introduction to an anthology of rhyming verse. I loved Baker's unique insight into poetry, mice, sorrow, procrastination, and the unique pinks and greens of unripe blueberries.

The Time Traveler's Wife was an amazing book filled with sadness and happiness. I would consider it one of my favorite books. After I read The Time Traveler's Wife, I read the classic book, Catcher in the Rye. The book is about a boy named Holden who spends three days in New York City. It talks about all of his adventures and memorial experiences. The Catcher in the Rye is a fast read, and definitely a book worth reading!
Charlie St. Cloud is the book I am currently reading. It has an amazing plot and right away you fall in love with the book, and the wonderful relationship between two brothers. My next book is another classic, Lord of the Flies! I’ll tell you how I liked it next week!
Keep on reading!
