"The Devil Wears Prada" was a pretty good book; I enjoyed it much better than the movie... and I liked the movie.
I started reading Steve Martin's "An Object of Beauty". I'm enjoying it, but I find that his writing style is a bit obtuse. He seems to have a habit of vaguely alluding to plot twists that he never resolves, as if these are references to an inside joke that I just don't get. But overall it's a pretty enjoyable read.
I still have about 400 pages to go in William Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". I'm still really enjoying it, but 1300 pages of Adolf Hitler is a bit much for anyone to take in all at once.
I'm having a really difficult time getting through Laurie Notaro's "There's a Slight Chance I Might Be Going to Hell". I think she tries way to hard to be funny, and she just isn't... at least, not to me.
As soon as I finish "An Object of Beauty", I think I'm going to start in on Mario Puzo's "The Godfather". I saw the movie eons ago, but I've never read the book. I think it's high time.
I sort of lost steam with Ally Condie's book "Crossed", which is book 2 of the "Matched" trilogy. I'm nearly done with it, but it just doesn't have the spark of "Hunger Games" or "Alligiant". But I'm determined to finish the trilogy... it just might be a little slow going.
