What the Dog Saw and Other Adventures, by Malcolm Gladwell: Fascinating essays.
Franny and Zooey, by J.D. Salinger: Meh. The Catcher in the Rye awakened grand plans in me to read all the Glass family stories, but this just didn’t grab me. It was well written, but not my bag.
Inexcusable, by Chris Lynch: For my book club, a contemporary YA novel written from the point of view of a seemingly nice boy who commits acquaintance rape. It’s not perfectly executed or particularly lovable, but it’s an interesting exercise in unreliable narration and a thought-provoking read for teens.
