Two Very Different Books

Shutter Island, By Dennis Lehane

Dragged at times, so that I had to skim a lot of sections. That led to a quick reading, and a false sense of urgency. Both actually added to the experience. It was surprising--not what I expected from the previews for the movie--and very good.

Anyone But You, by Jennifer Crusie (audiobook)

This actually made me LOL! I liked it way more than I thought I would--I've read Crusie before, and I'm not a huge fan of her writing style. But having it read to me instead of having to read it was MUCH better! She could have made it way shorter if Nina'd stopped saying "don't think that!" and "squash those feelings!" and "he doesn't like you that way!" You start to get really pissy with her after awhile.
