Mid-Winter Vacation Reading

The Appeal by John Grisham
Genre: Fiction Rating: (out of 10): 6
I protested, but Mom got me this book as I was leaving Las Vegas. And I finished it, instead of doing the work I had to do over the past 24 hours. The story was well-written with a great twist at the end, but I wish it were a happier book.

The Death of Nature: Women, Ecology and the Scientific Revolution by Carolyn Merchant
Genre: Science, Women's Studies Rating: (out of 10): 1
This was a painful book to read. It was dry and very historical. After reading my assigned chapters several times, I was able to figure out what to write about in my paper. I think that I could have gotten what I needed from this book in one chapter instead of 13.
