Vacation Here I Come!
After a lot of time thinking about what books to take on my upcoming trip I've finally decided what books are going into my suitcase.
There have been many revisions to my previous list of possibilities and almost none of the books I originally had my eye on made it.
I finally had to ask my friend, who is traveling with me, to help decide. We will be sharing books on the trip, that way I get to pack more, so I figured she could cast the final vote (like a superdelegate).
This is the "ballot" I gave Mimi with very poor spelling and not a lot of information other than,
"The last two will be the most fun, the others are kind of suspenseful but literary, so I don't know how you would like them. one almost won the pulitzer prize (the stories) the top and the last were national book award finalists." (I added the * to note the titles I was leaning towards).
Fieldwork* Berlinski, Mischa
Alias Grace? (margret atwood)
Shakespeare's Kitchen* (Lori Segal) stories
House at Midnight (galley)*

House at Midnight (galley)*
Mayor's Tongue* (nathaniel Rich)
spellman files (lisa lutz)
then we came to the end (josh ferris)
And this is what she decided:
Fieldwork* Mischa Berlinski this one also sounds interesting but I like all the other ones better.
Alias Grace? (margret atwood) - this might to be too cerebral for the trip, but i would be interested later
#4 Shakespeare's Kitchen* (Lori Segal) stories
#2 House at Midnight (galley)* - This one seems to have an uncomfortable love story... i like it

#3 Mayor's Tongue* (nathaniel Rich) - I like that it sounds like there will be great language like raw shark text.
spellman files (lisa lutz) - I'll read this one when I come home, you own it right?
#1 then we came to the end (josh ferris)- if the office was a book? how could I pass this up?

So my bags are packed and I'm ready to go! I'll let you know how the reading goes. Feel free to make bets on how many books I actually finish (I'm shooting for two).
