Literary genius

With the many hours spent travelling on the truck, we´ve had a lot of time to catch up on some reading. Jackie has read 9 books and I´ve read 4. I´ve started a few others, but only when a book really grabs me (or on Jackie´s recommendation), do I persevere.

I started with James Patterson´s ´Big Bad Wolf´ which was easy reading and fairly entertaining. Righteous Men, by Sam Bourne, very much like a Dan Brown story was next, and then I read the wonderful ´Kite Runner´ by Khaled Hosseini. I was certain that things couldn´t get any better. I was wrong. I had the privilege of reading ´A Fine Balance´, written by Rohinton Mistry. A story set in India about 3 families of different castes, whose lives came together during a devastating political and social nightmare. The saddest but most beautiful story I have ever read.
