Bedrest reading list
Being on quasi bedrest has been absolutely kind of wonderful. I shouldn’t admit it; it feels so un-industrious and non-productive of me. But I think I will miss it when it’s gone. The best part has been reading. I gave myself carte blanche to spend a small fortune on Amazon and have read the best string of books. Here’s my bedrest book list thus far- and I want more titles!! I aimed for writers I really love, poppy and easy to read but still meaty.
When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson
A Life in France by Julia Child
No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin (I will never finish this book- not in a year of bedrest)
American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld
Something to Tell You by Hanif Kureishi
Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri
I was just listening to Tom Ashbrook and his guests mentioned a novel called Netherland, by Joseph O’Neill, about ex-pats and cricket in New York City. Sounds excellent. But I am trying to avoid sadness and death in my pregnancy reading. Two of the above books fail that test starkly, but I won’t say which. They are still worth reading.
