This week's book:
Their Eyes Were Watching God
By Zora Neale Hurston
This week's book is a a classic that I wish I would have read before; I finally just now got around to reading it. I bought my copy a few years ago and I pulled it out of the big box of unread books that sits in our bedroom.
This year I have really tried to read more books by not only more women, but also non-white authors. This book was written by an African American woman. I started reading the book and then somehow the book sat on my nightstand for a few months and finally I decided that I would listen to the novel as an audio book, and boy am I glad I did. The story is of a woman and the life she lives with the men she loves.
The story is told so beautifully and the author paints the picture of a story that you can really see inside your mind. I would definitely recommend this novel.
