Dreary Sunday

Sunday, May 4, 1008

A very rainy, dreary day in the Bronx. It looks like
May showers for about 10 days now. Bummer.



I finished reading this book this morning and have to say I really liked it. Although fiction, like I said before, it is probably pretty close to what goes on in politics. You get lost in all the manipulating and maneuvering of the delegates. No where in the entire book do you get any sense that any of the delegates are truly dedicated to nominating the candidate that won the vote in their state. A little disheartening for sure. But the end was a surprise to me. A good read.


From Richard North Patterson to Alexander McCall Smith. A change of pace for sure. AMS's books are fun. He has a way with words, making the unfamiliar quite familiar as he develops the characters and describes the area and customs in this part of Africa.
I have read all of the previous books of this series (Number One Ladies Detective Agency) and look forward to this one.
