Currently reading: Thelma by Marie Corelli 📚
Finished reading: Reader, Come Home by Maryanne Wolf 📚I love this book. I learned stuff about the science of reading and the brain that I had never imagined. Also useful for its advice about mediating our digital culture and maintaining our deep reading skills.
Finished reading: Little Failure by Gary Shteyngart 📚We read this for our Library book group. An interesting meditation on culture, bad behavior, generational trauma, and growing up as an immigrant. Worth reading.
Currently reading: This Other Eden by Paul Harding 📚
Finished reading: Medusa by Jessie Burton 📚my continuing theme of modern books using Greek myths. Kinda liked it.
Currently reading: James by Percival Everett 📚

Finished reading: The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride 📚Oddly disappointed. I had liked Deacon King Kong but felt like I was missing something with this one. Was there a deeper message that passed me by?
Currently reading: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller 📚
Finished reading: Circe by Madeline Miller 📚I’m on a Greek myths kick so this was a good addition. A nice meditation on the pluses and minuses of immortality.

Finished reading: The Romantic by William Boyd 📚excellent novel based on a real life. Cashel Ross, like Zelig, was everywhere in the 1800s.
Ice storm aftermath. Beautiful, but we’re looking at a multi-day power outage.

Finished reading: Waking the Moon by Elizabeth Hand 📚overwrought, sort of a fantasy novel but overall too full of itself.
