Choices for April's reading


Augustine
, James O'Donnell -- a biography of the great 6th century religious thinker. Before you completely discount it, I haven't read this book, but I have read another by the same author and he's fantastic and very engaging. I've been wanting to read this one for a while.

Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte -- a fictional biography of a mid-19th century orphan who makes her own way in the world. Gothic, romantic, mysterious...

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua --
"An awe-inspiring, often hilarious, and unerringly honest story of one mother's exercise in extreme parenting, revealing the rewards-and the costs-of raising her children the Chinese way."
