Moving On to a New Book

Just finished my book– “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close“ by Jonathan Safran Foer. It was so great! I got through the last couple of pages on the shuttle from Lakeshore Campus to Water Tower Campus late  last night. The novel presented a really unique perspective on the events of September 11, 2001, given from a nine-year-old boy whose father died in the World Trade Center that day. I highly recommend it!

I used to read all the time and have missed it greatly; I’ve made a sort of late New Year’s resolution to start reading again. It makes the time pass so quickly when traveling between campuses on the shuttle or the CTA! Next on my list: “Her Fearful Symmetry“ by Audrey Niffenegger (the author of the great novel “The Time Traveler’s Wife“). Can’t wait to get started!
