Someone just asked me for something “good to read.” My first thought was which one should I talk about? People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks that I’m listening to on CD in my car? Obedience by Will Lavender—the first novel that I’m reading right now? (I love first novels!)
Or maybe I should mention The Bone Gardenby Tess Gerritsen that I just downloaded onto my MP3 player. Oh, I almost forgot… I have The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier on a Playaway tucked into my purse—just in case.
I even keep a book of Sudoku puzzles in the glove compartment of my husband’s truck for those times he gets carried away talking with the guys and leaves me just sitting there.
You’re probably wondering how I keep all the stories straight, but all I can say is I can. It isn’t a problem at all. Within a sentence or two, I’m completely immersed back into the story. Hmmmm…..Maybe I’m more those Gen Y’ers than I think—they multitask on their cell phones, iPods, and laptops—I just do the same with books. ~Evelyn
