Books: The Round House by Louise Erdrich

[smittenbyu]

That was a record! In less than two weeks, I finished reading a book - The Round House: A Novel! It was a very intriguing story! Sure, it was no Michael Connelly or Tom Clancy thriller but it was a page turner with its own pace. Really liked it. My only background of Native Americans is Kevin Costner's Dancing with Wolves, right. So, not much. We did go to a big pow wow here and visited the Smithsonian Museum of Native American and got some snippets about their lives. It's not a very big exhibit since many of them want to keep many parts of their culture a secret and not be exhibits to the world. But it's also the only museum on the National Mall with an excellent cafeteria. Food is wholesome and only place you get wild corn cooked in your food. yum! And also the only place in all of DC, where you get souvenirs made in America.

So, my knowledge is absolutely nothing! So, it was a nice insight into the history through its laws passed. It would have been nice to learn more about the laws, but then it's fiction and not the place. Definitely will be picking up other books by the author.

"the only place in all of DC, where you get souvenirs made in America."
This made me laugh!

I almost had lunch at the Native American museum, but didn't due to time. I heard great things about it, though. Much better than the fast food options I read were at Air & Space. :)
