Now, I was going to read the next installment of Meyer's but I think I'll let Twilight absorb into my skin and get a feeling of anticipation for the next book. That being said, I am now going to read Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult. (I was at Kroger and found this they have about 5 different books of hers that I haven't found anywhere else). This novel gives the reader a glimpse of Amish life - something not normally witnessed by outsiders. When a young Amish teen hides a pregnancy, gives birth in secret, and then flatly denies it all when the baby's body is found, defense attorney Ellie Hathaway decides to defend her. However, she finds herself caught in a clash of cultures with a group of people whose sense of justice are markedly different from her own. Sounds good, doesn't it? I'll let you know.
Update: So I finished Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult and it was really good. Somewhat predictable. I knew what the twist was going to be about 100 pages in...that's okay though, it was still enjoyable. Of course, how can neonaticide be "enjoyable" but it was. Anyway, it was really interesting to get a glimpse of the Amish life - and not just the fact that they dress different or turn away from electricity. Their philosophy on life and living is interesting: Striving for Plainness in every way - not as easy as it sounds. A good read and a recommendation.
