5 best books to share with your friends

Friday, December 4, 2009

I am always searching the Internet for new tidbits on books, authors and anything literary. One thing I love about books and especially books in this day and age is that there is a book about anything and furthermore there is always a book I haven't read. New books are published constantly and I can never keep up.
I stumbled upon an article titled: "The Best Five Books To Share With Your Friends" on npr.org. I haven't heard of any of these books but they all sound great and have now been added to my To Read list.

1. Conquest of the Useless: Reflections from the Making of Fitzcarraldo by Werner Herzog
2. Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli
3. The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis hopefully I don't have to say the author here
4. The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of Comic Book Heroines by Mike Madrid
5. Everything Matters!: A Novel by Ron Currie Jr.

I am really interested in Supergirls and Everything Matters! I wonder if they have them at my library? I'll have to check that out brb...that would be a no, guess I'll check out the bookstore instead. No worries.
