What I read in December

"Angle of Repose" recommended for: people who love family sagas, no one, it's too personal and you will just read it and find it slow and dated and I will take it personally that you didn't like it because it feels like a piece of me. Sometimes fiction comes to close to truth for comfort.





"The Bourne Identity" recommended for: readers who thrive on constant action, people who don't mind when the book is nothing like the movie, the uneasily offended by a smattering of language, the unmindful of shallow relationships because it's a spy novel.





"In His Steps" recommended for: people who like mantras, the easily inspired, anyone who wonders where the term "what would Jesus do?" came from.






"84, Charing Cross Road" recommended for: fans of the epistolary style, people who feel isolated by our cyber society, typewriter fans, obscure/out of print book lovers.






"Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane)" recommended for: Parents of all ages, teenagers (girls in particular), those who want to be reassured by being prepared.





"Ella Minnow Pea" recommended to: those who love the touch, taste, sound, look and feel of words, another one for epistolary style lovers, people who want something clever and original.
