Retired...and making up for 30 years of lost reading time.
I’ve got my October reading stacked up. Lots from the National Book Awards. Looking forward to the @goldsmithsprize.bsky.social shortlist. #booksky @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @ndbooks.bsky.social @citylightsbooks.bsky.social #proustsky @graywolfpress.bsky.social
Horrifying, with a tiny glimmer of hope at the end. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @arielsaramandi.bsky.social #booksky
I liked the inventive structure of Makenna Goodman’s new book throughout, but I was really won over by the final pages. @coffeehousepress.bsky.social #booksky
Thanks for this moving book, @grady-chambers.bsky.social , and thanks for the ARC, @tinhouse.bsky.social #booksky
I just finished Audition yesterday. So happy it made the Booker shortlist! @katiekitamura.bsky.social @thebookerprizes.com #booksky
With this one, I’ve finished (and loved) the 100 volumes of the Collectors’ Wodehouse. #booksky @everymanslibrary.bsky.social @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social
Why did I wait so long to read this? So good. I can’t for the next book from @waidner.bsky.social : As If. Preordered. #booksky
Just finished these two today. Very different. Both formidably written (and translated). #booksky #WITMonth @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social
My favorite way to experience a city? Running through its empty streets hours before dawn, catching breaths of chilled air blowing under the glass doors of the office buildings, knowing that before long, the streets and sidewalks will be packed. #booksky @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social
Look at this! Going to the top of my TBR list for an upcoming road trip. Thanks, @tinhouse.bsky.social #booksky
What a fun book! Every time I recognized one of the sources, I got a little jolt of joy. #booksky @tomcomitta.bsky.social @coffeehousepress.bsky.social
Just finished my second book by Ben Myers. “The Gallows Pole” was terrific, as was “Cuddy.” Which of his books should I read next? #booksky
Looking for a good read for Women in Translation Month? Try Gabriela Cabezón Cámara’s “We Are Green and Trembling,” translated by Robin Myers. It’s a winner. #booksky @ndbooks.bsky.social
I’ve got some great reading lined up (well, stacked up) for August! @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @ndbooks.bsky.social #booksky
Look what just showed up on the doorstep! ❤️📚 @dseuss.bsky.social @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social #booksky
I’ve got some promising books lined up for the week. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @penguinclassicsusa.bsky.social @fantagraphics.bsky.social
Finished this week: Ian Penman’s “Erik Satie Three Piece Suite,” SJ Kim’s “This Part is Silent,” and Georgi Gospodinov’s “The Phyics of Sorrow.” @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @andotherstories.bsky.social @liveright.bsky.social #booksky
Finished this week…and some great books on tap for next week. Loving rainy days. ❤️📚
Best reread of the year! …and I’ve got Diamond Stuff on order. Life is good. @graywolfpress.bsky.social @waidner.bsky.social
I just finished this terrific collection. These stories take me back to the many places I’ve lived all over the South. I loved spending time with these characters. Fave story: “The Happy Land.” Thanks for the ARC, @tinhouse.bsky.social ❤️❤️
My first book by Matthias Énard. I loved how the two stories paced around one another without engaging patly. I’ve already got Zone on order. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social
