2006 books 10 and 11

flying to san antonio means ample reading time, and free hotel wireless means timely book updates!

ali smith's the accidental
this novel focused on a slightly dysfunctional family sort of thrown into chaos by a random woman who shows up at their house. there was some creative lack-of-punctuation used throughout, which annoyed me greatly. seriously, you're allowed to actually end sentences with periods and still be a serious writer. what the hell.

wendy mcclure's i'm not the new me
pinky says this is the only book by a blogger that she actually liked--i've never really followed poundy.com (though i have read it a few times) so i wasn't really predisposed to like or dislike it. and it was well-written, and very funny at times, but i found the whole thing to be a little depressing.
