I'm excited to read Corrections, but I've heard it's REALLY upsetting.
Roy is def. great- her language creates such a palpable world, walking a fine line between dreamlike and dark, seedy realism.

Just finished Fences, moving on to The Autumn of the Patriarch. At what point did Gabriel Garcia-Marquez stop believing in periods? I feel like I've been in the same sentence for 4 pages.

just finished harry potter 6, city of the pygmies by isabelle allende, and the rule of four. loved them all, esp HP, but who doesn't? The Rule of Four i think actually makes me want to read the hypnertomachia polphili (SP?). it was a great book, really quick read. i still liked da vinci code better, though.
currently reading the narrative life of frederick douglass for required summer reading, to be followed by the crucible (required) and baudalino by umberto eco.
i'm a book dork. i spend hours in used bookstores, and there's a bunch here in madison, where i'm on vacation, so it makes me. giddy. at times. heh.

Posted: 7/26/05 at 9:02pmmemoirs of a geisha. Great book.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 7/27/05 at 10:01amI found The Historian bland and boring. It starts out interesting and then nose-dives.

Memoirs of a Geisha is a glorious read, indeed!
I just got Bill Maher's new book, New Rules. It's freakin' hilarious!

...and the only thing he's ever read is a home pregnancy test."

Posted: 7/28/05 at 7:02pmI recently finished "Einstein's Dreams" by Alan Lightman and I'm re-reading "Gertrude and Claudius" by John Updike. I find the backstory to Hamlet very interesting.

Posted: 7/28/05 at 8:20pmFinished rereading Memoirs of a Geisha, which unfortunately got weaker the second time around. Trying to decide whether to slog on with The Autumn of the Patriarch or move on to Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age: or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer. Anyone have a recommendation?

I want to get my hands on a copy of "Closer".
Does anyone know of a really good biography on Maria Callas? She really interests me.
