A Thief in the House of Memory by Tim Wynne-Jones Buy book: $11.05
In this masterful new novel, Wynne-Jones explores with wit, compassion, and humor the fictional territory he knows best--the prickly ties that bind families, the murky connections between imagination and real life.
Just got done reading today's email. I think that it's pretty good. It's pretty cool that it's set in the present time, it's not far in the future or back in the middle ages. So far, it seems like Dec leads a pretty normal life, but I'm looking forward to seeing if or how that changes throughout the book.

K... this book is a bit confusing at first... or is it just me? From the description, it sounds like a pretty good book, but I don't know if I like the book yet, or not. Well, it IS only monday.
I agree with you about the book being confusing. I don't exactly get the point of the book. Maybe I'm reading too fast, but from what I can see, I think that the whole point is a little bit pointless.

The second segment was easier to understand than the first... i think. Maybe I was just tired yesterday??? I dunno. I wonder what happened to Dec's real mom. And, does Dec like Birdie, or does he not like her because he feels like she is replacing his mom? I'm hard at gathering information at first...
