Notes to self -- what to read next
The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court. By Jeffrey Toobin.
Reviewed by NYT Sept. 23, 2007.
Looks like an interesting read discussing and analyzing the dynamics and procedures of the Supreme Court. NYT calls Toobin an intelligent and engaged outsider who is not awed by the Court, but he might have asked more probing questions of various sources.
Loving Frank. By Nancy Horan. Reviewed by NYT Sept. 23, 2007. About the love affair of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney who ran away from a husband and children in order to live with Wright. NYT review made this sound intriguing because of the independence of the woman.
Shadow of the Silk Road. By Colin Thubron. Reviewed by NYT July 15, 2007.
I want to read this book after visiting Antioch which was the terminal destination of the Silk Road. This book sounds like a synthesis of both history and contemporary observation which is exactly what I want.
Soul Eater. By Michelle Paver. Reviewed by NYT July 15, 2007.
The reviewer said that this would be a good book for anyone who loves HP. It is recommended as a real page turner with elegant prose.
