 |  |  |  | We have been reading like insane kats, because we have gotten into T.C.Boyle, whose short stories we always enjoyed in magazines- and his novels are such page-turners! We have read, in the last couple of weeks, THE WOMEN- a novel in which the author imagines the lives of the wives and gurl-friends of Frank Lloyd Wright; THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE-about the Kellogg sanitarium-hilarious; THE INNER CIRCLE- about Kinsey and his assistants-juicy; and RIVEN ROCK- about some crazy rich guy and his innarestin' wife. We enjoyed these books so much that Gita ordered MORE (there are 11!)!!! We ALSO read 2 Lional Shriver novels, but didn't like them as much as we loved WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN, FEMALE OF THE SPECIES, GAME CONTROL, A PERFECTLY GOOD FAMILy, and THE POST-BIRTHDAY WORLD. When do you have time to do all that reading, Smushy and Woozle? you may wonder. On the train... Anyway- we highly recommend all of the above. Gita also got a book called ANTHILL, by the ant guy, EO Wilson, but the setting reminds her of the gulf catastrophe, and she can't stand that. When the oil is cleaned up, and the wildlife saved in 452,000 years, we'll get back to it. Gita loves ants. |  |  |  |  |
