Out box

Well, I took in 12 books in January (to be fair, a few were gifts, though most I purchased), and I read seven of them. I think that's a pretty good turnover rate. I slowed down on the reading some after I finished Revolutionary Road, because that's the kind of book it was. I can't decide if I liked it or if I just felt like I was supposed to like it. It was definitely well-written and absorbing, but I can't say I enjoyed it. It was, after all, a serious novel. I'm coasting with a Grafton mystery currently, and I plan to follow that up with Scarpetta. I know, I know, but I can't help it: I must see the series through to the end. Plus, my mom said it was way better than the last one.
