Finally finished book #54, White Teeth by Zadie Smith. It was a really good book, but I just didn't seem to have much time to read this past week. Smith is a great author and I look forward to reading more by her. My favorite part dealt with the Chalfen family meeting Alsana's lesbian niece (whom she refers to as Niece-of-Shame) for the first time. The remark that Joyce Chalfen comes up with almost made me choke - "Do you use each others' breasts as pillows?" - and I had to explain to my 6-year-old that why I was laughing was not something I cared to share with him. Not that he would have understood, but I didn't even want to go through trying to explain.
