	Kathryn gave to: Autobiography of a Face (Paperback) by Lucy Grealy	my rating:
	read in July, 2008 Kathryn said: "Granted I read Patchett's Truth and Beauty first-- this one left me unimpressed. Patchett talked about Greely's enormous talent, but not much shined through here. Along the lines of Truth & Beauty, Greely seems self-absorbed and self/face-obsesse...more " add a comment

	Kathryn gave to: Hotel World (Paperback) by Ali Smith	my rating:
	read in September, 2008 Kathryn said: "I first read an Ali Smith story when I was in England for the summer. She's wonderful and it's surprising that she's not very well-known. She concentrates almost exclusively on women, and writes them really well, which is kind of unusual. She's a les...more " add a comment
	Kathryn gave to: Truth & Beauty: A Friendship (Paperback) by Ann Patchett	my rating:
	Kathryn said: "This is what got me interested in Patchett-this tracks her graduation from Sarah Lawrence, onto the Iowa Writer's Workshop where she met best friend, volatile Lucy Greely. It's more or less about their relationship from then until Lucy's death. On se...more " add a comment

	Kathryn gave to: King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa (Paperback) by Adam Hochschild	my rating:
	read in November, 2008 Kathryn said: "Essential reading, as hardly anyone ever addresses the genocide that occurred in the Congo. However, the author is given to writing in a too-narrativey style, re: "Imagine Leopold sitting at his desk, writing..." or "No one knows what ...more " add a comment

	Kathryn gave to: American Pastoral (Paperback) by Philip Roth	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 Kathryn said: "Awesome. Commenting on Roth is a little daunting. In his own words, a fantastic documentation of the fall of American Pastoral and the rise of American bizerk. The weaving of the last chapter, the dinner scene at the Swede's, is fantastic. Very much ...more " add a comment
	Kathryn gave to: American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Paperback) by Kai Bird	my rating:
	read in June, 2008 Kathryn said: "Long, and a triumph to finish. Interesting account of the Red Scare and of a genius man. My favorite parts are when they talk about Einstein (who, according to Oppie and the like, is totes overrated?) " add a comment
