A story of a young man growing up in a Dominica family and their history in the Dominican Republic and their experiences under the rule of Rafael Trujillo. Overall an excellent read even if a little difficult to read as far as dialogue goes.</p> <p>I always fin myself reading a few books at once. Next on the docket though is <em>Oblivion: Stories</em> by David Foster Wallace on the recommendation of said writer by a very good friend.</p> <p>- J</p>http://thebookaisle.tumblr.com/post/23548769505http://thebookaisle.tumblr.com/post/23548769505Tue, 22 May 2012 12:31:00 -0400brokenquill<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo8_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrlwV1KN1r6doszo9_500.png"/><br/> <br/>http://thebookaisle.tumblr.com/post/23547526743http://thebookaisle.tumblr.com/post/23547526743Tue, 22 May 2012 11:59:51 -0400brokenquill<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3lltzIJRz1qj3lnyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lavacheestdanslepre.tumblr.com/post/23535945484/the-public-library-in-sudbury-ontario-has-teamed">lavacheestdanslepre</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The public library in Sudbury, Ontario, has teamed up with a therapy dog group to give some kids a chance to read to a furry friend.</p> <p><strong>Reading Tails </strong>is a program designed to improve reading skills for children ages 6 through 12 years old, who already know how to read.
