Reader's Advisory aka "Oh God Please Don't Make Me Suggest Books!!!!

Given that introduction, it's pretty apparant that I am uncomfortable doing reader's advisory. I actually had someone ask yesterday. "Hi. I'd like a book that's funny and smart and interesting. Oh, and I really loved reading Eli Weisel's Night." ...... WHAT?!!!!! Are you freakin' kidding me?!!! My mind went "duh"..."um"...okay, follow me....."duh". 

On to the assignment:

Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World by: Rita Golden Gelman

A slow paced book that strolls around the world with the writer. A fantastic travel log full of rich descriptive language. Set in places all over the globe, the writer is witty and light, for the most part.

The Fault in our Stars by John Green

Young adult book populated by strong characters that are smart and witty, yet physically frail and often scared. Extremely well written and thought provoking. Moderately paced. An emotional book that will take you on a rollercoaster ride from laughing hysterically to crying.
