March

I still haven't completed March - Geraldine Brooks (remember the entry from many months ago?). I was in Gettysburg last week and now I am inspired to pick it up again. I found it odd the Gettysburg museum bookstore was not selling a copy of March - they appeared to have a selection of civil war books.

Doris Lessing

One night in college I started reading The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing and I could not put the book down until I completed it - it was disturbingly captivating. I am now reading another Lessing book - The Good Terrorist. With a title like that I was not surprised to see it was stamped as a Library Discard. It was written in the 70's and revolves around the hardships of the task of making a squatter house in the UK - legal housing. The usual stuff, dealing with neighbors who don't like you, the government and the physical labor of organizing the tenants to get the house up to speed.
