My stack

For Valentine's Day Robbie and I gave each other books. He had said that he wanted to read Freakonomics for a long time (it's really good, if you haven't read it), so I bought that for him, along with a copy of The Audacity of Hope for myself. And I had mentioned to Robbie that I wanted it a while back, so he bought it for me as a gift too. Haha.

So, we went to B&N last night for Valentine's Day (we are so exciting, we're not even celebrating on the actual day) and I exchanged it for What is the What by Dave Eggers and Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. I've heard that the first is good, the second (the movie version at least) is very depressing. I'll be the judge of that.

And in the meantime I'm still reading Why Nations Go To War by John Stoessinger (one of Robbie's old texts), but I'm now on the chapter about the Palestine/Israel conflict, so at least I'm plugging along.

Unrelated question--I saw two of Irene Nemirovsky's books at the bookstore (not including Suite Francaise) and was wondering 1) if anyone had read them, or 2) if they came out before or after SF.
