I am a reader and book evangelist. For many years I have kept a reading journal with little descriptions of the books I read and dates I read them. Kind of a trail of book bread crumbs that chart my interests over a given course of time. This blog gives me a way to continue my journal and share my reading interests with others. My latest adventures in creating, dining, and traveling can be found at my website LindasOtherLife.com

On Beauty by Zadie Smith
When I first started reading this book, I walked around wondering why everyone wasn't talking about it. I loved the characters, the expose of liberal arts college campuses, the irony. I didn't make it all the way through White Teeth when I tried reading it a few years back, but I couldn't put On Beauty down. Then, somewhere in the middle of the book I lost interest. The characters didn't seem as real to me. The plot got slow. I kept at it and the end was awesome. Once again, I am walking around wondering who everyone isn't talking about this great novel.
