Interrupted by Another Book

I apologize to anyone who's actually reading this - it's been a crazy almost week, and I haven't done much reading in that time anyway.

I am still reading The Grapes of Wrath, but because of a busy schedule and trying to finish tv episodes either taped from this week, or checked out from the library, I still haven't gotten to do much reading for a set time. I am continuing to enjoy it more - I got a bit of steady reading time before Mass on Sunday while Mom was practicing with the rest of the choir. I did not like the used car salesmen chapter - they were annoying, nasty people; however, I'm not sure I was intended to like them.

Yesterday while I was at work, a book I've been waiting for was returned for my opportunity to check it out and it's still popular enough that I only get it for two weeks, so I'm going to interrupt The Grapes of Wrath with Stephanie Meyer's book The Host. I'm not yet very far into it, but I think I'll enjoy it - even if it's not quite the vampire story I was expecting. So far it's rather hard to decide who's the good guy and who's not. The main character, Wanderer, seems pretty much good, as does the Healer, but it's somewhat hard to like either of them when you consider that they are essentially stealing someone's body as their own.
