"okay let's talk BOOKS again for a switch up"


  

          

I just finished re-reading Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake this morning, in anticipation of the movie, which certainly can't follow the whole story, but looks like it will be quite beautiful nonetheless.

I'm also reading Rafi Zabor's, I, Wabenzi, and liking it very much even though I keep putting it down for some reason.

Also, recently started Preacher 2, eek.

And I'm carrying with me and slowly starting to re-read The History of Love, by Nicole Krause. There's something in that book that I want to find again, but I've already found some nice passages I hadn't remembered.

You?
