Bossypants and Unbroken

I just finished two more great books.  The first one - Unbroken - is one of the best books I have read in a long time.  The story is the true (but almost unbelievable) story of Louis Zamperini, the famous miler who was shot down in the Pacific during World War II, then proceeded to survive for many days and months on a life raft and in a Japanese POW camp.  The NY times review has a better description than I can give.  Just go read it.  Josh has it on his list to read next - I think he will dig the WWII aviation references.  I think my dad would also love the history and background of what happened in the Pacific during WWII.  I learned a lot reading it, but the story was so engrossing it didn't feel like work. 

The next book, an obvious much lighter read, is Bossypants by Tina Fey.  I love her and pretty much everything she says.  She writes about what it was like to be a woman and in charge at SNL and her show 30 Rock, what it's like to be a working mom, and  how her famous Sarah Palin impression came about.  She's just funny and it's a quick and easy read.


I have a lot of books to get through on my Goodreads To Read list.  Josh and I get in bed between 8:30 and 9 every night with our Kindles.  We are such old people!!
