I can’t even remember anymore who gave me this little fairy.
She’s been out there under the hibiscus, though, for years now… and she never fails to remind me of how much I love to read.
And I read a lot. As much as possible, in fact — books and stories from every possible genre and about any culture and time.
Yesterday’s book was called City of Thieves by David Benioff– a brilliantly executed novel about Russia and the siege of Leningrad during the Second World War. I highly recommend it. It’s gritty, sad, happy, funny, and chock-full of the fatalism that permeates Russian literature.
Since I’m expecting to be released by the surgeon to start driving tomorrow (!!!), I’m gonna be heading to the bookstore. I’ve read absolutely everything in the house… so tell me: Have you read any good books lately? What should I read next?
