I am reading a lovely book right now. It's by a woman named Audrey Niffenegger (she wrote The Time Traveler's Wife) and it's called Her Fearful Symmetry. Lovely is a good word to describe this book. It's not a huge page turner like Dan Brown, it hasn't made question my beliefs like Jodi Picoult, and it's not creepy like Stephen King. But it has some wonderful characters in it, and it's written so that I want to keep going. I feel attached to these people and I want to know what happens next in their lives.
I read this excerpt today: "Silence. Robert could hear his nervous system whining in his head."
I don't think I've ever been that quiet. I don't think I've ever been in a room where it has been that quiet so I could be that quiet. It really nailed how silent it was for Robert.
I love books, words, reading, stories.
Sigh.
Thanks for your comments on my blog! So nice to "meet" you.
ReplyDeleteI love books, stories, characters, too! I've heard good things about this one. I'll have to read it soon.
