Currently

Books I'm Reading:
Devil In The Details by Jennifer Traig
Little Bee by Chris Cleave

Sentences I like:
Zengerine:
In contrast, Cormac McCarthy's figurative-language-heavy introduction to Blood Meridian balances both an earthy grittiness and an elevated vocabulary as McCarthy describes the surroundings.

Twilight:
In a passage from Cherry Adair's "Out of Sight," she uses blunt vulgarity, noisy and straight-forwardness to get her point across.

Look Up...(Now!):
Cabot uses blunt, familiar words to make her protagonist easy to relate to in these first few sentences, using denotative language and a bit of humor.

The Lurking Times:
Stardust is also more of a connotation having a poetic theme to it as well as being very lyrical about it.

Keep It Classy:
The language is humble, but it is suggestive of the culture and personality of the characters.

Overall I particularly like Zengerine's sentence, mostly because of the adjectives that she used. The way she described the work is matter-a-fact and extremely descriptive.
