I'm in a book club, and as we couldn't meet for two months we have two books to read: We Have To Talk About Kevin, by Lionel Shriver; and, Let the Great World Spin, by Colum McCann. I'm almost done with 'Kevin' which is about a teenage high school spree killer, and told from his mom's POV... it's good but a bit overwritten.
A couple weeks ago I finished 'Just Kids' by Patti Smith, about her life with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, and really enjoyed it.
