The story of a young African lady who comes to college in the US. I loved her funny, easy prose and the liveliness of her characters. Her interactions with various people in different situations all contribute something to shaping her views and outlook in life. I find myself being glad that she is successful and independent - an African girls dream!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone interested in the enthralling array of immigrant experiences.

It was interesting but at the same time I wish that the data she used was more global. Too American-centered.

This actually sounds like something I would enjoy (except I assume you meant "Talking" instead of "Stalking"?? ). I am obsessed with introversion.Himmelslicht wrote:Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Stalking by Susan Cain.

Unfortunately, the American-centric thing happens way to often in America. Too many people there don't understand that there is more to the world than what exists outside of their own little box.

Really a riveting book. I don't always agree with everything he says but I respect his well reasoned arguments and his amazing research. I stormed through this book in two days - couldn't put it down. Full of so many interesting details.

This one is on my list! I own the previous three books in the "Killing" series and they've all been great reads.Pemmycats8 wrote:Killing Patton by Bill O'Reilly

Currently I'm in the middle of Dreamers and Deceivers by Glenn Beck. It gives a great look at some of the best known people of the past.
