What Next???

I'm almost finished reading These Is My Words and I will be posting my review soon to add to my literary tour. Funny thing, thinking about that title always makes me sing Natasha Bettingfield in my head which is odd becuase I kind of don't like her. Anyway, I love the book but I'm having trouble deciding what to read next. So I thought I would just put it out there. After this one, I will have read two romances in like two weeks and I think I need to mix it up a little bit. Not to mention that I think my husband would enjoy me reading something less sappy for once. So here is what I'm thinking......

Into Thin Air by John Krakauer. This will make our next stop on the literary tour mount Everest. Should be thrilling, exciting and maybe a little dangerous! But most likely a little bit sad as well.



The Kite Runner by, Khaled Hosseini. By reading this one, we will make a stop in Afghanistan. We will experience friendship, war, fallen monarchies, being a refugee and kite flying (?). I'm very interested in reading this one and then maybe I'll see the movie adaptation.




The Patriots by, James Wesley Rawles. I don't know a lot about this book. It's about survivalist during an economic meltdown in the United States. This journey will take us from the midwest to Idaho and maybe a few places in between.



I'm really excited to read all of these books so I just can't decide and I'll be done with the other one really soon. So let me know what you all think. I'll post a poll on my side bar. First time I've ever done that.....

Read The Kite Runner next. It is so good. Very Sad but very poignant. Some People think its a little too shocking but I could not put it down!

patriots sounds interesting. I'll have to put it on my to read list. Read the other two "these is my words" books they are good too! The 2nd book "sarah's quilt" isn't as good as the first but I enjoyed the 3rd "Star garden" just as much as the 1st!

I'm probably not your literary model, but I found 'Kite Runner' a little too telegraphed, predictable, orchestrated.
