Couple of book reviews
Jul. 2nd, 2007 11:04 pmI've been so distracted by all the gossip-related stuff going on recently that I've forgotten to update my booklog. So have reviews of:
Rebecca Wells: Divine secrets of the Ya-Ya sisterhood
Zora Neale Hurston: Their eyes were watching God
Right now I am attempting to read a classic Swedish YA novel, Frans Bengtsson's Röde Orm (the literal translation of the name is Red serpent, but the English title is The Long Ships). It's fun, and it has Vikings. But it's slow going, at least partly because it's written in an intentionally archaic style.
