Book 20

Jeannette Walls
THE GLASS CASTLE
Scribner (2006)

A memoir ... and easily the best book I've read in the last couple of years! Absolutely brilliantly written.

This was a "Heather's Pick" from Chapters ... and I literally devoured the full 288 pages in one day (and half the night).

Book Nineteen

Val McDermind
THE GRAVE TATTOO
Harper Collins (2006)

Strange story ... academia, London gangs, Wordsworth scholars, Fletcher Christian and the Mutiny on the Bounty ...

Guess it was worth it in the end as I now know more about the Mutiny, Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian ...
