Lying Awake by Mark Salzman. It was pretty good. I don't know that I'd read it again, but I don't feel like it was a waste of time by any means. It's about a nun who has severe headaches accompanied by spiritual visions. She is faced with the fact that her spiritual gifts might be the result of a serious illness. The book goes into what choice she makes concerning her illness and the ensuing spiritual struggles. I think I just like reading about nuns....is that weird? I loved A Nun's Story by Kathryn Hulme. This wasn't as good as that, but it's a good fast read, short and well-written.
What are you reading?
