Tiger Mother

So, I have a nasty, nasty cold.
One good thing is that I've been able
to do a lot of reading.
I was able to finish

I started reading it this week.
I read a few reviews of the book and they were
not positive, but I thought I'd give it a try.
I really liked it.
Do I agree with her parenting style?
Absolutely not, but as my boss said,
she does make fun of herself, which makes
her likable.
Do I think she's a nut. Yes, I do.
I highly recommend this book.
I also read this:

Oh my god, I hated it.
I only completed it in 2 days because I wanted
to be done with it!
It wasn't what I expected and
I thought it would be more like Still Alice.
I was wrong, but completing it brought
me a little closer to my goal of reading
50 books this year.
So far, I've only hit 2 duds.
Not bad.

Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. It's good to "see" you. I felt that I needed to tell you that those layouts were from 2003. My style has evolved greatly. I couldn't have you walking around thinking that I suck. =)
I agree with you about The Corrections. I think I only have about 100 pages to go but kept thinking, "who cares?"
Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for the heads up on these two. I've actually had Memory Palace on my "to read" list. I guess I can hold off on this one for a while longer. And I was interested in Battle Hymn because the author was supposed to be at a local Barnes and Noble this month (not sure if I missed her yet or not). And of course her parenting style has hit a lot of debate lately. I guess this was a book I wanted to read to see what all the hype was about. But now I think I'll give it a try.
