I forgot a few books...

I was talking with a friend last night and she reminded me of two books that I forgot that I had read.

21. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Interesting book, well written. It takes place in Chicago, so that was a fun touch.

22. The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

Great book. Roth rewrote World War Two American history from the point of view of himself as a young Jewish child in New Jersey. Really Interesting book. I read this right after I finished The Question of Palestine and was leery of it being the opposite extreme only a novel, but this was well written without any offensive political statements. I also really like that the author listed in the back the actual historical events and timetables, so that no one would confuse fiction with truth.

PS. Almost finished with The Horned Man and I am not very impressed at all. Almost don't feel like finishing it, but I will...
