Really enjoying a new-ish mystery series by Colin Cotterill. “The Coroner’s Lunch” is the first book about a 72 year old doctor who is somewhat reluctantly serving as state coroner in Laos after the communist takeover in 1975. Corpses abound and mystery and mysticsm mix merrily. A good yarn, with an interesting locale and characters.

Under the Banner of Heaven, Jon Krakauer’s look at fundamental Mormonism, was a real eye opener for me. Nonfiction adult.

The best book I read this summer was Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. It is the true story of Frank Lloyd Wright and the woman he ran off with in 1907, both abanadoning their spouses and children. The ending is unbelievable! I can’t stop thinking about it.

Argh! You ladies make me feel so juvenile…I almost never read books for grown-ups! Anyway, I just finished Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson and was blown away. Written in a sensual, poetic language that seems so different for the author, she tells the story of two teenage girls, one bulemic and the other anorexic. Following a break from the friendship, the bulemic girl is found dead and her former friend has over 30 messages on her phone that she had never returned. Now she has to live with the fact that if she had returned one of the calls, she might have been able to save her dear friend’s life. It’s about time that some high-quality YA lit came about about eating disorders!
