Summary: Once again, a moving tale. This one is about a 15 year old boy, Georg who has just found a letter from his father, who died when Georg was 4. Most of it is the father's story about the mysterious Orange Girl, but Georg makes some interjections as well.
Comments: the mysteriousness of the first half really kept me reading. And by then I was so interested in the characters that I wasn't going to stop anyway. This book may not have the level of messing with my mind as Gaarder's other books, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Regardless, I enjoyed it. And that's what really matters, right?

Weird Washington, by Jeff Davis and Al Eufrasio
Summary: random stuff one might not know about the state--random stories and places. Can I come up with any adjectives other than "random"?
Comments: all kinds of stuff that I didn't know. And some number of small towns I'd never heard of... I rather enjoyed reading about all everything, especially some of the things that I had some hope of imagining (ie references to places I've been).
