ROOM

This week I read ROOM by Emma Donoghue. Everything about it captivated me, from the author's brilliant presentation to the voice of the narrator, five-year-old Jack, who has spent his entire life in an eleven-by-eleven space.

It's one room with two who steal your heart. You have to read it.

What book would you recommend today?

I'm nearly finished with Gail Caldwell's Let's Take the Long Road Home - one of the best memoirs I've read, ever.; February 18, 2011 at 3:54 PM
Melissa Sarno said...: I LOVED Room. Today I would recommend the book I'm reading right now, Among Schoolchildren by Tracy Kidder. Even though it was written 20 years ago, I think it's still relevant today. And that says something.; February 18, 2011 at 4:20 PM
