 | From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor Spring is upon us, so while we've still got some chilly evenings to fill, let's make sure we've caught up on some of the great things that 2012 has offered up so far... mainly books, of course! | |
'The Orphan Master's Son' by Adam Johnson
Set in North Korea, The Orphan Master's Son tells the story of Jun Do, an orphan who lives a life that's filled with surreal coincidences and unexpected turns. This book won high praise from our Guide to Bestsellers, and now I'm looking forward to reading it myself!
| 'Mr g: A Novel of the Creation' by Alan Lightman
"Mr g," or as we'd better know him, God, is the narrator of this novel; it's the Creator's view of Creation. Alan Lightman, a theoretical physicist by day, has woven a clever and surprisingly lighthearted tale here, and it's worth a read if the subject matter catches your fancy.
| 'The Lorax' by Dr. Seuss
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." With a new film version of The Lorax in theaters now, there's no better time to rediscover this Dr. Seuss classic.
| Literature for Women's History Month
March is Women's History Month here in the United States, and one wonders where to even begin with literary women's history. This blog post should give you some ideas of classic and contemporary authors and some of their greatest works.
