What I've been reading
This week I finished King of the Mild Frontier by Chris Crutcher (his "autobiography") and Austenland by Shannon Hale. Has anyone else read either of them? I thought King was pretty humorous, but I didn't like the way he ended it, and I was disappointed in Austenland. I guess I need to take into consideration what it is (chick lit), but I was hoping for a little more substance...... Has anyone else read anything good??????

Our library doesn't even have "Austenland" yet. I finished reading "Sold" by Patricia McCormick which is written in prose, free verse. I quite enjoyed it. I also finished "Under the Baseball Moon" by John Ritter. It has quirky characters but I didn't think it had the impact of some of his other books.

I just finished Austenland and was disappointed as well. I thought she was pretty whiny in many circumstances, and the ending was just farcical. It did motivate me to finally watch the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice, though. I'd been avoiding it because I rarely like film adaptations of books. It was interesting.
