I finished Tortilla Curtain by TC Boyle. The story is basically the lives of two couples and how the two worlds perceive each other. One couple is upper-class white, the other Mexican illegal immigrants. Yes, stereotypes galore with the white couple's big problem in life is seemingly the devaluation of their property due to a day labor meeting area near their neighborhood. The lives of the Mexican couple could have been a part of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events. Everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. It was quite an annoying read.
Anyway, on to better... I got to read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown this weekend. Once again, he gets my attention with his story and has me reading practically non-stop. It's about as good as Deception Point. Something entertaining to read, but doesn't have that thought-provoking element in Da Vinci Code. I've read and enjoyed all four of his books, and now I must wait until his next book comes out.. assuming he's working on one.
I don't know what is next on my reading list. Perhaps it's time to browse through this thread again and try one of the books you guys have read recently.
