Book Candy

I'm quite the avid reader as anyone who knows me would tell you. I try to mix classics with newer literature. I like to read all genres but I do stick to books that have been recommended in some way, be it through a friend, NPR, BookPage, Goodreads, etc... This will be an outlet for me to explore writing, something I've never thought I had the knack for. Writing reviews has been something I've been doing for 3-4 years now but all on goodreads. I'm hoping to delve a little deeper and maybe try to market myself to those who like my style.

Rape: A Love Story

Even though I gave this book only 3 stars, I admit I've fallen in love with Oates (this is my third Oates book). Unlike the other two, it wasn't the characters I fell in love with (maybe this reflects in my rating) but the writing is still superb. She has such a poetic way of depicting humanity in all the little details with a great expanse of emotion. I will continue to read her work and be glad that I have discovered her.
