Sharp
Sharp: A Memoir
by David Fitzpatrick
exposing memoir (7/29/2012)
I am not sure I enjoyed reading "Sharp" by David Fitzpatrick, in that I found that he was just a bit too graphic in some of his descriptions. However, I give him a lot of credit for exposing his illness in a way that really that lets others know how painful mental illness …more
An Unmarked Grave
An Unmarked Grave: A Bess Crawford Mystery
by Charles Todd
Unmarked grave (5/28/2012)

The Leftovers (7/1/2011)
I found this novel a compelling exploration of how we go on coping (or not) in the face of unfathomable loss. Although the novel is set after millions of people disappear from Earth in the "Sudden Departure," -- a Rapture-like event that is never fully explained -- what …more
Kaaterskill Falls
Kaaterskill Falls
by Allegra Goodman
Great read (4/23/2011)
Surprised to find that there are no other reviews for this book. I really enjoyed Kaaterskill Falls. I felt that the character development was fantastic- I felt a lot of sympathy for the sisters. I learned a lot about the more conservative Jewish faith. I grew up not far …more
