the plow that broke the plain (plane)

books in last four weeks:

1. the book thief by markus zusak
2. the worst hard time by tim egan
3. divisadero by michael ondaatje

1. incredible incredible incredible. actually left me sobbing for 2+ hours as i read the last chapters and in the time that immediately followed. i don't know what else to say about it. another wwII tale. about a young girl living through the third reich. this is nothing like anne frank.

2. nonfiction about the dust bowl. extremely well-composed. bigger man-made disaster than hurricane katrina or the san diego fires.

3. lovely literature by one of my favorite writers. finished it on the black ball ferry from victoria, bc to port angeles, wa.

no end of books in sight.
