Finally, I finished something!
Book: All the President's Men
Authors: Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward
Pages: 336
Time to read: Three-plus weeks
I don't generally read non-fiction, but this remains a must-read for journalists. Two key reporters of the Watergate investigation walk you through their steps of uncovering possibly the largest political scandal of all time. At times, I felt like this book was taking too long, but in retrospect, it was similar to the frustration the reporters felt. This isn't a read-before-bed kind of book, but it is an important one.
Book: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Author: Ann Brashares
Pages: 294
Time to read: 44 hours
The Sisterhood series is quickly becoming a fixture in young-adult chick lit and for good reason.
Brashares shares the stories of four teenage girls (juniors-to-be) who are scattered across the globe for the summer. Naturally, the plot follows the pants and their adventures as well. It is a feel good book with a clan of characters who may as well be the girls next door, although they lack the depth that you would find in a true classic. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is an easy read, but perfect for vacation or a weekend.
Speaking of being scattered, the six contributors of this blog are living in six different states: Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kansas, New York, South Dakota and Oklahoma.
