Adding to the list.

I finally finished reading The Golden Notebook, which I started reading late last year.  It took me something like 6 months to read it.  I loved it, but I didn't like taking nearly as long to read it as it might have taken to write it.  (I actually finished in May, and have already posted about it.  Except no review.  Why no reviews?  I'm not feeling wordy, I guess.) 

Then this weekend I picked up The Wee Free Men, by Terry Pratchett, an author I've been wanting to read for several years now.  I finished the book in two days.  It was both witty and wise, and I enjoyed having a book that I could run with.  (Book #6 for this year, Book #1 for June.) 

I've begun The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.  Unfortunately, it opens with several dreadful things happening, which severely affected my sleep last night.  I'll be trying some more of it one afternoon this week, but I may have to give it up.  As Edna O'Brien once told me, life is too short to read books you're not enjoying.
