I just finally started Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother by Amy Chua. (SO far behind on both my book list and my netflix queue) I'm really enjoying it! I thought she'd be a real piece of work, but she's quite witty and I can understand her reasons behind her methods. I'm only a quarter of the way through it, so my thoughts may change.

I just finished Fallen, looking forward to the rest of the series! It's nice to be reading fluff again. Prior to this, I'd read Mom, Jason Is Breathing on Me and All Joy and No Fun. I shouldn't read two nonfiction books in a row, but I was looking for a solution to the bickering.Laurie

I feel like I have maybe 1/2 hour a day for reading time, and I can't keep my attention on just one book. I'm listening to A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius right now, and frankly I don't understand all the Dave Eggers love. The overblown neuroticism annoys me. I'm also reading The Emperor of All Maladies since it applies to both my work and DH's future specialty. It's very interesting so far, but long. There are at least 3 other books I've started and not finished in the last month.

I'm back to Houellerbecq, reading The Elementary Particles. Far more dense. I'm also really enjoying WCI's book.
Oh, and going through the second season of OITNB like a feign.

I've finally gotten around to reading the Goldfinch. Honestly? Not loving it that much. The first couple hundred pages were really intriguing, and I've enjoyed a lot of it, but the last couple hundred have just been dragging so hard. I'm about 50 pages from the end. There are so many sections where I wonder why she's going on about something for such a long time, and I feel like she could have gotten away with about half as many words. She's great at creating tension, but she never resolves so much of it, and it starts to feel stagnant and sort of painful. We're talking about a 560 page book - I feel like there need to be more ups and downs, more suggestion of hope to keep me feeling like all the constant tension and negativity are worth it. I'm really struggling through the last little bit. I was really interested in the Secret History, but I'm not sure if I'm going to bother now.Wife of PGY-4 (of 6), cat herder, and mom to a sassy-pants four-nager.

I finished "The Language of Flowers" last week, which was fabulous - I loved it! I started listening to "Middlesex" which I am also loving and started reading "A Visit from the Goon Squad" on my Kindle, which is good so far.
I can't wait to tear into my vacation books:
"The Vacationers"
"All The Light We Cannot See"
"All Fall Down"
"The Happiness Project"
"The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie"Wife, support system, and partner-in-crime to PGY-3 (IM) and spoiler of our 11 y/o yellow lab

I just finished Overwhelmed and thought it was pretty incredible. A Pulitzer winning journalist looks at how women (mostly working women with kids but SAHM and non-kid-having working women too) spend their time and the challenges of finds leisure. Really great...
