Infinite Country by Patricia Engel | Thoughts

   Published : 2021   ||    Format : print   ||    Location : Colombia ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆   What was it about the country that kept everyone hostage to its fantasy? The previous month, on its own soil, an American man went to his job at a plant and gunned down fourteen coworkers, and last spring alone there were four different school shootings. A nation at war with itself, yet people still spoke of it as some kind of paradise.. Thoughts : Infinite Country follows two characters - young Talia, who at the beginning of this book, escapes a girl’s reform school in North Colombia so that she can make her previously booked flight to the US. Before she can do that, she needs to travel many miles to reach her father and get her ticket to the rest of her family.

It's Monday! What are you reading? -- July 26, 2010


It's Monday! What are you reading this week?
This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.

Books completed last week
Having just returned back from watching Inception, I totally forgot about this post. My conscious and "subconscious" kept muddling over all the facts before it "woke itself up" and I remembered this post.
So it's been another busy week, and I got only one book done.
The Color Purple by Alice Walker

Books reviewed

Books on my nightstand

I guess I did become too ambitious with my reading list last week, so I have pretty much the same set of books on my nightstand again.

One Vacant Chair by Joe Coomer: I started reading this one yesterday, but didn't get that far in. It's quite funny at times, plus engrossing.
Crazy by Han Nolan: Again, I will read this only if I get the time. I'm not sure yet about it, plus this ebook expires in a few days.
The Passage by Justin Cronin: I really can't wait to read this. I am so in a mood for reality-challenging stuff now, without venturing into anything paranormal. Could be the Inception effect.

I adore Nelson Demille, but I haven't yet read the one you've chosen. I'll be back to see what you thought of it.

Have a great reading week!

Happy reading!

My son has seen Inception twice and said it is the best movie he has ever seen. He is taking me on Tuesday to it.

I too am reading The Color Purple. Have a good week!
I need to reread The Color Purple...it's been many years.

One Vacant Chair and Crazy captured my interest.

Hi Aths. I am looking forward to watching Inception.
I just picked up The Passage, and while I want to read it, I have to admit that the length is daunting t me. You have to let me now when you start, and maybe I will be inspired.
