book thirty-six
Snow Falling on Cedars
by David Guterson
I'm sure I'm way behind the times by just reading this book now, years after it was released and made into a movie and everything. But too bad for me! I actually really enjoyed it. Before reading the book, I knew it was about the relationships in a community where some of the residents were Japanese-Americans who were sent away to internment camps. What I didn't know was that it was also a murder mystery.
Reading about these fictional people made me more curious about non-fictional Washington residents who were sent to camps. I've got a couple of holds at the library on autobiographies written by Japanese-Americans who experienced it firsthand.

A good book is a good book, regardless of when you read it.
I'm reading Bob Dylan's Chronicles right now, which is an interesting read, if you like his writing. It's not linear; it's more "circular." After this, it's on to the new Harry Potter.
