May Reads

'Tis by Frank McCourt (sequel to Angela's Ashes, which I read in college)
Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
Miss New India by Bharati Mukherjee

Moby Dick - no progress. :-P I blame it on the traveling I did this month.

BUT, I have cut down on the number of unread books on my shelf. Current count: 7

Recommendation of May: Phantom of the Opera. I was reading it on my trip to California a couple of weekends ago. I was just sitting at LAX, waiting for my shuttle bus, and this junior-high girl walked by, did0 a double-take, and exclaimed loudly, "There's a book?!" Later, she was passing by the other way and stopped to find out who the author was. I chuckled to myself. It's not the most well-written book ever, but it was fun to see the inspiration for the opera I love so very much.
