Remember when I said I wanted to read something shiny and fun on my plane trip next week?
Well, that decision just got a little harder….
The following books have appeared on my hold-shelf in the past few days…
1) Her by Christa Parravani, which I already mentioned I might read on the plane…
2) The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick, which I have been waiting for FOREVER and I want to read before watching the movie
3) Dr. Bird’s Advice for Sad Poets by Evan Roskos, which I thought would be a nice way to segue back into reading decent YA
4) The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver, which I have been in line for since 2012
5) How Children Succeed by Paul Tough, which I have ALSO been in line for since 2012
6) House Girl by Tara Conklin, which I have nothing else to say about other than I thought it looked good.
To that I have to say…
Well, NOW what?
Silver Linings first. Fun, amazing read that will take you a plane ride/taxiing/sitting in the airport.
Then I’d go for Nate Silver.
Have you ever read anything by Genichi Taguchi covering signal and noise?
I didn’t even realize Silver Linings Playbook was based on a book! I want to read it now (even though I’ve already seen the movie).
