Project Read--the slacker version

Hi. My name is Raquel, and I am a slacker. I read only five books this summer, and I am so mad at myself because I KNOW the reason is due to WATCHING TOO MANY DVDs! Once I start a season, I'm hooked, and then I move on to another interesting show. Oh, those conniving, dirty, manipulative DVDs.




As far as my synopsis of each book, here's the ultra-slacker version.

If I had to choose a book to re-read, it would definitely be Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri, whom I highly recommend. In other words, if she came out with a new book, I would totally pause my DVD in a heartbeat. She is a Pulitzer prize winner for fiction, and her books are about Indian immigrants living in America.

As for the rest of the books, I don't have anything significant to share about them. But really, it's because I have to get back to watching season two of Weeds.
