What are you reading this week of September 6, 2015? [View all]

I'm still reading Kingsolver's 507-page The Lacuna and I'm with scarletwoman in saying this is one of the best books I've ever read. I spent some time in Wikipedia looking at pictures of Diego and Frida and their art and there's even a picture of the blue house. I have become so involved with these characters that even though I knew what was going to happen, I was just heartbroken when it did. Such amazing writing.

So, what are you reading?
