What I'm Reading

Right now I'm completely engrossed in 'An Artist of the Floating World' by Kazuro Ishiguro ... It was the Whitbread Book of the Year in 1986. I should actually have titled this post: What's on Oma's Nightstand as I'm a bit of a gypsy in the palace this weekend. Of course after I gorge myself on the bounty of my parents' garden I have to unwind a bit ... What better way than to check out my Mom's (unrivaled as of yet) literary stash.

I always feel silly writing about what I'm reading, it comes out slightly pretentious sounding - highly reminiscient (sp?) Of my high school era English papers. I will have to start reading some good literary criticism to help me express myself in these matters. Suffice it to say that this book is beautifully written and I recommend you dive in as soon as there is a lull in your reading schedule.

    You don't sound pretentious, but you do make people like me (whose collection of Stephen King books is unrivaled) feel very inferior !

    Don't feel inferior!!! I'm to chicken to read Stephen King so that makes me somewhat inferior. Or at least a sissy!
