Reading meme Wednesday has come round again. As it does.
Shortly after my last post, my brain went on a fiction haitus -- just didn't wanna touch it. What I've read instead is, mostly, nonfiction from The New Yorker (I have a large backlog saved to Pocket). Two observations: it's worth reading just about anything by Jill Lepore, and Malcolm Gladwell's glibness initially hooks the reader but soon gets irritating.
This means Sorcerer to the Crown is still a couple chapters from the end, Rondo Allegro is abruptly DNF (I couldn't renew that one -- I should buy it), and I'm a couple chapters into Rachel Ray by Anthony Trollope, one of his half-size novels in a more fluffy vein.
Ah, well.
