I will now present to you the blog post equivalent of a mash-up wherein I tell you what I've read (and can remember) in the last month or so.

Meh. Saucy but in a creepy, bummed-me-out kind of way.

Ha! Turns out the free section of the library where you don't have to check the books out (you can literally just take them and return them on the honor system) is free FOR A REASON. Why I finished this book I'm not sure. Maybe because I was expecting some steamy lovin' at the end? Expectations not met. Leading me to:

Good Saucy. I mean, it's bad of course. But good.

Bad Saucy.

Funny and smart. Inappropriate but in the best of ways. Classic Dan Savage and in novel form!

My first Phillip Roth experience. The title grosses me out still, but I was very impressed with the prose. It was a thinking book. I mean, not as complex as "The Accidental Wedding" but still... That said, I had to stop in the middle (something I hate doing) because I realized our next book club was meeting soon and I hadn't started our next read! So I've now moved onto:
Parrot and Olivier in America and hope that by the time I finish it, I will still feel some motivation to return to The Human Stain.
