Atonement - Ian McEwan

Atonement by Ian McEwan

Yuck. Hateful HATEFUL main character. I put this down halfway through -- yeah, yeah, I get that she's writing this book as her "atonement" for being such a little pissant and ruining everyone's lives but come ON. She's a little drama queen and I hated her. The end.

DENIED.

oooh -- I'm grumpy, huh?

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

I didn't know anything about this book except that I recognized the title for some reason. Maybe it was on a summer reading list in high school or something? Anyhow, I liked it -- I wasn't completely engrossed in it they way I have been known to be in other books -- I was almost watching the story unfold below me. I wonder if I am on my quest for my personal legend by being here in Hawaii? Hmmmm.
