I LOVE to read, and by writing about what I read, I hope to share some of my passion and inspire people to read books they might not otherwise consider. Or to pick up any book and read because it's fun and because reading makes the world a better place.

Chapter One Hundred: Lincoln's Dreams
All of the books by Connie Willis that I own somewhere on the cover or front page describe her as "the author of Lincoln's Dreams," so when I saw Lincoln's Dreams while browsing through the public library one day, I figured I'd check it out. Let me just say that it is a very weird story. I finished reading it a week or so ago, and I still am not sure what I think of it, which is sort of unusual for me. It definitely kept my interest while I was reading it--I had no idea what was going to happen next. And as for the end, I was satisfied with it, even though it is a bit vague and fairly tragic. It was a fascinating read, exploring the possible meaning of dreams and set against the backdrop of Civil War history, not a topic I normally find interesting but which worked well with this story. Don't read it if you're looking for a happy story, though.
