I finished reading The Last Boy and The Mermaid Chair. I didn't really like The Last Boy, I felt there was some underlying sanctimonious themes and that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I also found the book to be incredibly predictable. I did enjoy The Mermaid Chair. It was a fairly good book but not fantastic. I am looking forward to reading The Secret Life of Bees. I have heard that this one is better than The Mermaid Chair. I just started reading Prep and that is so-so. The next BAMF's book is One Hundred Years of Solitude and I can't say that I am jumping at reading this one. Has anyone read any great books lately??? I am looking for suggestions because I haven't found something really intriguing lately...I've been getting some duds!
