December 30 Books read in 2008I have decided to start a new blog for "books I've read in 2008." It will be entitled Susan Mendell's Books of 2008. It will be an interesting list in that my interests now incorporate lots of science and books by famously known atheists such as Hitchens and Dawkins. November 07 The EndI believe this to be the last entry in this Blog. As you can see, I have done a lot of reading this year. And now, what I find happening to me is that I am wanting to read certain books over again...But I will continue to try to find new and interesting books to read! October 11 Chaim PotokIf I don't get to read my Chaim Potok books at least once a year, I just don't feel right! He is my favorite author, and I have started 4 of his books this month! One of them I actually haven't read before...it is a non-fiction book about the Slepak family. It is a shame that he died 4 years ago.
 October 01 October's Books
September 19 Danny PearlI put off reading Mariane Pearl's story about her husband, A Mighty Heart, because I thought that it would be too awful for me. Well, it is certainly that. However, the poignancy of their love made it all worthwhile. Please visit the Web Site of the Daniel Pearl Foundation.
 September 01 DedicationI wish to dedicate my September books to my Mother-in-Law, Joannie, who gave me my loving husband, Daniel. Thank-you, Joannie!
 September Books
August 30 A Great LossAugust 08 August BooksWhen I was in college, I studied Spanish and that was when I read my first book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez...One Hundred Years of Solitude. He will be 80 years old this year, and it is good to see that he can still write great literature!
July 30 End of July!I finished July with another great romance...Jane Eyre! I cried again, seeing myself and my beloved Daniel in the characters of Jane and Mr. Rochester. Next month, I am going to read some "lighter" books!
July 03 July BooksI cried as I finished Queen Noor's memoirs. Her relationship with King Hussein reminded me so much of mine with my beloved husband Daniel. Without all the royalty baggage!
June 28 Woolf and NabakovVirginia Woolf and Vladimir Nabakov...very difficult to read, neurotic flights of something (probably not "ideas" - more like narcissistic delusions). Is this what it's like to be inside the mind of insanity?
 June 10 June BooksYou do not need to have a Master's Degree in Psychology to enjoy my first read of June, Stumbling on Happiness! I highly recommend it for all!
May 29 FriendsIt really helps to have friends that are avid readers to turn you on to good books! This month, two of my books (Middlemarch and Searching for Caleb) were recommended by Karen, the Dietician where I work. They were both great...thanks, Karen! May 07 May's Reading ListHere's a list of the books that I read in the lovely month of May!
April 30 April Books!I know that it looks like I read a lot of books in the month of April, but actually I just FINISHED a lot of them. Some of them I started reading in January! There should be fewer books finished in the month of May. I hope to spend more time with Yoga and meditation next month...instead of just reading about them! April 15 Hooray!I cannot believe that I actually finished Lord Jim and Oliver Twist today! They were both very difficult for me to get through...Lord Jim because my mind kept wandering and Oliver Twist because it was so sad! Now, onto more enjoyable readings... April 11 Books I've read in AprilHere is a listing of books that I've read in April.
