What I'm reading for fun: The Pact by Jodi Picoult
Why this book: It was recommended (and then lent) to me by my roommate
Thoughts on the book: Well, the blurb says that it is based on a suicide pact between two teenagers. I'm about 50 pages in, and so far it's as to be expected...bleak. But it has sucked me in, since it starts with the suicide pact and then jumps back and forth in time to fill in the blanks of how the teenagers grew up together and how this came to be. Sad subject matter, but I'm definitely sucked in. I recommend it, if you can handle the heaviness.
Additionally: The last book I read was Picoult's Plain Truth, which was about a crime that takes place on an Amish farm. Really interesting description of the culture clash that occurs between the Amish and non-Amish.
