August was my most productive month yet! I raced through the Eyre Affair, dusted off Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Barbara Demick’s Nothing to Envy brought back some hazy memories of my early childhood in a communist country.
What a bizarre life that seems like now. And I’m heading back for a quick visit in a week.
Meanwhile, I’ve given up on Alex Ross’ The Rest is Noise for now. Love his blog, love his writing, love the New Yorker, but the chapter on Schoenburg is turning out to be just as hard to get through as Schoenburg’s music.
The rest is noise indeed.
Since I never seem to write my reading list at the start of the month, here’s one for September/October.
Reading List September/October 2012
- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Staffer and Annie Barrows
- Conditions of Faith, by Alex Miller
- Anne of Green Gables, by LM Montgomery (re-reading the entire series)
- Eating Animals, by Jonathan Safran Foer
For any Canberrans out there - Lifeline Canberra Bookfair and the Canberra Readers’ Festival are both on this weekend. I’m wiping my reading glasses in anticipation.
xx doots
