The Sparrow has been on my to-read list for awhile now. I'm kinda scared that it might be disturbing though. Was it?

Recently I've read:

Shadow of the Wind - Not a genre I usually care for, but what a brilliantly written book. I really enjoyed it, despite some of the gruesome bits.
Anna and the French Kiss - Would have liked this way more if I were 15 years old. But still, nice fluffy read.
This is Where I Leave You - It was decent enough. Nicely written, but I can never really get into books where a middle aged white man with no special or discerning qualities is the main character, which leads me to...
High Fidelity - Again, white middle aged man as main character. Well written. Thought it was ok.

Reading now:
Les Miserables
Rosewater and Soda Bread
