These have been my companions over the last week or so of recuperation. Although I’m not sure I thought the Moore was as amazing as many reviewers did, it was a solid bit of entertainment. Most of the other books are familiar from my sidebar, but the Tolstoy is new… I joined Story Club with George Saunders, an absolute delight. And the Amado is part of the Brazilian literature mini-project on which my youngest and I have embarked.

Today, though, inspired by a talk I attended this week, I’m beginning The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store.

Not pictured is Pinter’s Betrayal, which I read in anticipation of this.
