getting (sort of) caught up on blogging about my reading - in february i read:
the immortalists, by chloe benjamin (four siblings visit a psychic, who tells each of them the date they will die. is the psychic right? what effect does this visit have on their lives? i really enjoyed this book, with four fully-formed characters who live very different lives. thumbs up! i'd recommend it.)
world war z, by max brooks (i listened to this audiobook, with tons of narrators so each new character had a unique voice. that is the best thing about this book. i did not find the story line particularly compelling, nor this post-apocalyptic world particularly interesting. you can continue to pass on this one.)
men explain things to me, by rebecca solnit (my local independent bookstore recommended this to me when i bought a chimamanda adichie [spelled that correct on the first try - please be proud] book, and i really enjoyed it. it's a book of essays on feminism from the woman who coined the term "mansplaining." now that i've read this i see solnit's name around a fair amount - she seems like someone we should all read at some point, given her prominence in the feminist essay-writing field!)
