Book Log 2009 #55: The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
Known for its Oscar-nominated film adaptation starring Kate Winslet, this book tells the story of a teenaged boy in postwar Germany and his older lover, a tram operator with a past that comes back to haunt her - in more ways than one.
I suppose I liked the book, but it's pretty gloomy, so be forewarned.
