what i'm reading

I absolutely love Amy Tan.  I want to be her.  I want to write as eloquently as she does.  I want to write stories as beautifully as she does.  I finished The Bonesetter’s Daughter, my very first Amy Tan book, and I just want more Amy Tan.  It will be tough to choose which book of hers to read next.  I want to read The Joy Luck Club for sure, but I’m not sure if that will be my very next Amy Tan selection.

I’m currently reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger.  I’m enjoying this book.  I can read through the pages fairly quickly.  When I read Amy Tan’s The Bone Setter’s Daughter, I read and savored every single word on every single page.  While Audrey’s novel tells a vivid story, I’m missing Amy’s storytelling!
