The Love Wife, by Gish Jen. I really liked this, particularly the narrative structure, which gives you a multitude of simultaneous voices and perspectives. That definitely added lots of layers to the story. About Chinese-Americans, and Chinese immigrants, and blended families. The end was a little non-specific, which always bugs me - I like endings that are a tad more definitive, so I'm not always wondering, "but what happened to them?", but that's just because I'm old-fashioned.

Feeling weird today, physically speaking. Very tired - left work rather early. I had one or two things that may or may not have been contractions - since they were *12 hours* apart, I'm not worried about anything (like labor) happening yet. Still - I'm just kind of blah and yucky and feel like hibernating. We just watched Zoolander on TV (I'd seen bits of it before, but never the whole thing all together), and I worked on crocheting my blanket. Now I think I'll get in bed and read my next book.

And - we have a 3-day weekend! Woohoo!
