“‘Fullmetal Alchemist: Volume 2,’ by Hiromu Arakawa. It’s a graphic novel about two brothers who are trying to find a way to bring their mother back to life.”
“‘Eat, Pray, Love,’ by Elizabeth Gilbert. My friend was reading it and suggested it to me.”
“‘The Year of Magical Thinking,’ by Joan Didion. It’s about a woman’s life coping with loss and grief after her husband dies. It starts out something like, you sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends in an instant, the ordinary instant.”
“I’m reading ‘Life of Pi,’ by Yann Martel. It’s kind of philosophical fiction about a boy from India who is trapped on a boat with various zoo animals.”
“‘Wicked,’ by Gregory Maguire. It’s about the Wicked Witch of the West. I think it’s also a Broadway musical now.”
