in november i read:
the power, by naomi alderman (so the premise of this book is that women have discovered a power to cause pain (and kill) using their mind. what happens to society once women have this power? this was a book where i really liked the premise, but all the steps of the plot to get us to the ending weren't as interesting. this needed to be a short story, not a novel. but that said, it *was* really interesting and i'm glad i read it!)
less, by andrew sean greer (i LOVED this book and could totally see why it won the pulitzer prize. it's that great novel that you/me, a common reader, can actually appreciate instead of being like "i bet there's another level i'm supposed to be understanding this book on, but i am not." it's a book of travels, a book about relationships, a book about growing old, a book about being young. i really really enjoyed it. might be my favorite book this year - at least it's my favorite book of the last few months.)
