October Books Bought/Read
Books Bought
Black Belt Sudoku by Michael Rios
Books Read
The Kite Runner
Not sure if the Sudoku book counts as a book to read, since there are few words, and I didn't read them. But I did buy it at a bookstore, so I will say I bought it, but not read it :)
The Kite runner was a recommendation from Gram, a cuturally interesting read and a riveting story. I read it in about 2 days, in part while waiting in lines at Six Flags Great Adventure.

Betty Crocker's Desserts Cookbook
The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinella
Sushi for Beginners by Marian Keyes
Pat the Money by Diane Wachell
Reunion by Alan Lightman
Collected Novellas by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (started)
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (started)
I have been reading a lot of Brit Lit (a la Bridget Jones' Diary) and its really getting me inspired to get some writing in. A bunch of he books I bought were from the New York City Opera thrift shop, which I found has the best used books, and often marks them 50% off the thrifty price :) I had been eying the Earth from above book for years, and finally saw it at a cheap bookstore in the west village for about a third the cover price. the last two boks I scooped up at my favorite little bookshop in Coolidge Corner, in Boston - Brookline Booksellers (?). I had heard buzz about Alan Lightman, but didn't know why I knew the name. Only after reading the book and looking at his bio did I realize he was a prof at MIT and wrote Einstein's Dreams (which I never read) while I was at MIT.
