i know you’re dying to know what i decided to read.
- i made it through the complete idiot’s guide to buying and selling a home and i’ve decided not to buy a house.
- i had to return remarkable creatures to the library, but no big loss. i read the first few pages and could feel my bile rising. it was a definite no go.
- i swept through the final solution in an afternoon. michael chabon is brilliant. (and he’s the keynote speaker at AWP this april in denver!! and i’m going!! and that really deserves some serious multiple punctuation!!) but i found that the book ended too fast. i dunno. you read it and tell me what you think.
- the cold dish is still sitting in my library basket. i think. but i got my copy of a short history of women and i know it’s going to trump.
- and lonesome dove. oh my oh. lonesome dove. i am currently on page 438 and am utterly swept away. this book is beyond Epic. i love it. i really love it. i feel bad i’m typing this instead of reading lonesome dove. [i do have to tell you the truth though---it took me over 300 pages to get swept away. but now that i'm swept, i am Swept. i dare you to read this book to page 350. and if you're not swept by then, you can watch the miniseries.]
so what are you reading?
The Handmaid’s Tale at the moment. It’s scary how relevant it still is.
a lot lately, actually. not all of it… exceptionally *dignified.* http://www.verybriefbookreports.blogspot.com
Aaand I’m off to request Lonesome Dove. And The Final Solution. Thank you!
Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by Michael Davis. I finished Have a Little Faith a couple weeks ago.
Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie currently is on hold for me at the library. I hope it is good like you said:)
