I finished The Center of Everything on the flight from Charlotte to DC on Tuesday night. It ended rather abruptly, in my opinion, but I still recommend it. The story is great, touching on growing up, faith, and especially choices, as well as how life can get away from you if you don’t stay true to yourself and take care of yourself.
Next up is The Master and Margarita, which I checked out of the library today. I had it on my list of “want to read” books. I think I put it on the list after I read Anna Karenina and decided I want to read more translations, particularly Russian translations apparently. Yes, I know that seems kind of strange. Either that or it is one of the books I found while searching the shelves at George Mason for things to read, most of which ended up on the list for later. Actually, it could be a combination of the two – I decided to read more translations and so I looked on the shelves of George Mason.
Either way, I’m starting it tonight and based on a quick reading of the first paragraph, I think I’m going to enjoy the writing. Also, there was a bonus of ephemera tucked towards the center of the book – a ticket for the Graduation Exercise and Commissioning Ceremonies at the United States Naval Academy on May 28, 2010. You’ve got to love a book that comes with random ephemera!
