Girl with a Pearl Earring
Read this book by Tracy Chevalier during the flight to Kauai. This is the second novel in the row I have read that has been made into a movie (and I haven't watched this movie either). I like historical novels, and this one really immersed me in the world of the 1660s Delft, Holland. It is also a neat idea...imagining how Vermeer came to paint this portrait of this girl with a pearl earring. I think I have another of her novels lying around in the apartment, so I may read that next.
