So this blog is going to be booky for a bit. I finished Invisible by Paul Auster. As usual, it was elegantly written and non-linear. I first started reading him because someone recommended him to me, and now I recommend him to others. So if you haven't read him, you might want to check him out. The Music of Chance is a good one to start with. The protagonist loses a high-stakes poker game and finds himself building a stone wall in the middle of nowhere...
After that, I read Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters. This was a children's book with echoes of Harriet the Spy. Not quite as good, of course, but still enjoyable.
And now I am reading Knit the Season by Kate Jacobs. It's part of the Friday Night Knitting Club series. The literary equivalent of a warm blanket.
What are you reading? And do you like it?

I'm now reading "Stylized"---a history of "The Elements of Style."
And "Her Fearful Symmetry" just arrived this afternoon. I went ahead and bought it.
E brought me a copy of The Elements of Style from the bookcase. I hadn't looked at it in years. It was surprisingly funny, at least the section I saw.
When I bought that one I also bought Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls and Anna Karenina by Tolstoy.
I am also reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn - like it very much, just doesn't fit so well in my work bag.
I am about to read Havana Nocturne by T.J. English - recommended to me by someone smart and stuff, so I think it'll be good!
