Since when stuff comes in is unpredictable, and since it all tends to clump at once (I've had seven movies come in in three weeks that have been on my list for months) I need to get back to my "diet" of one book in my queue at a time. <BR/><BR/>I'm trudging through Shadow Country, by Peter Matthiesson, which I like but found difficult to get through at the beginning. It's 900 pages. Then Netherland and 2666 finally came in at the same time. Since other people are waiting, I returned them and will continue with Shadow Country. But I checked out Frankie Landau Banks because it was in, and because hope springs eternal.<BR/><BR/>I really liked City of Refuge. It is very Grapes of Wrath-y, which I think I remember you liked a lot. I liked it better than A Mercy, which won the Tourney, though the writing is not, could not, be on a par with Morrison's.Girl Detectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348689834879722062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-5725890507510340012009-04-04T07:27:00.000-04:002009-04-04T07:27:00.000-04:00If I'm remembering correctly, I think Beware of Pi...If I'm remembering correctly, I think Beware of Pity and Post-Office Girl are the only novels--Chess game gets categorized more as a novella in with the short stories. He wrote "faction" though, a blend of fiction and fact. I want to read Marie Antoinette to see how that goes. . .SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-90127350282149577872009-04-03T13:48:00.000-04:002009-04-03T13:48:00.000-04:00I've got a huge pile of library books at home and ...I've got a huge pile of library books at home and have four more to pick up today....I think I like Beware of Pity even more than the Post-Office Girl, but I still have half a book to read. I wonder how many of his novels are still untranslated?Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-57343370941931833342009-04-03T12:22:00.000-04:002009-04-03T12:22:00.000-04:00Don't. stop. checking. out. books.You'll only have...Don't. stop. checking. out. books.<BR/><BR/>You'll only have withdrawal symptoms and then overdose.BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-40913394320277297182009-04-03T06:02:00.000-04:002009-04-03T06:02:00.000-04:00That is a very interesting stack of books.
