Thought I would let you know what I am reading, like you really care, :) No...
I just finished Thomas Mallon's newest novel, Fellow Travelers. The latter is set in DC in the 1950s McCarthy era. It is a very good read, a gay love story with fictional characters and historical characters intermingled. I am also reading Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" as a long term project. I am on Vol. 3, "The Guermantes Way" I can't say that I always "enjoy" Proust, it is difficult reading, but some sections are truly brilliant writing. Now of course I can hear you all saying Proust! What is he trying to prove? I am expanding my reading experience and perhaps proving that I can stick with it and read all 7 volumes of a masterpiece.
On my shortlist of want to read: Markus Zusak, Book Thief, Michael Chabon Yiddish Policeman's Union, and Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. (9-22-07, read Hugo Cabret. Loved it, highly reccomend it.)
