though my reading has picked up now that summer is officially here, i just read two books in may:
we have always lived in the castle, by shirley jackson (i listened to this audiobook, which was *fine* but not exceptional. creepy and entertaining enough to keep me occupied while i drove to and from work, but i wouldn't rush right out and read this.)
exit west, by mohsin hamid (i really liked this book - the immigrant experience from the middle east to the united states, which several stops in between. also the story of a romantic relationship, and touches on parent-child relationships and those between immigrants of different nationalities and those between immigrants and "natives." a lot going on here, and i understand why it's getting so much press. it's an easy and quick read but leaves you a lot to chew over. i'd recommend it for sure!)
