What I’m Reading

December 7, 2016 by Sharon

This was NOT a good book to lug around an airport while traveling to Chicago this past weekend, but I had started it and want to finish it!!

I have had this book for years, but had never read it. As a former educator, I’m always interested in stories like the Columbine massacre. This book has proven to bring back those horrible feelings after the initial shock of the shootings all those years ago. It has been a while since I read anything about Columbine so I want to go back and see how accurate some of the incidences he places in the book really are.

The narrator in the story is a teacher whose wife is a school nurse at Columbine. He is away on the day of the shooting, but makes his way back to find his wife.

I love Wally Lamb’s writing. She’s Come Undone  is one of my favorite books. If you haven’t ever read it, I do recommend it!

I put a hold on this book today- I hope to get it before Christmas!!
