READ

I finished the Elmore Leonard and am now in the first half of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon.

I am liking it a lot. Some laugh out loud moments and some bitter-sweet ruminations roll out of the mind of this autistic boy.

I had heard about this a while ago, then Randy loaned it to John. It has now fallen to me.

I don't read a lot of the 'latest' fiction because it has gotten so fucking post-modern I cannot stand it.

This is an exception. I have some other books coming that I have high hopes for.

Out of all the book reviews I read each week in the NY Times Books, (which we still get mailed to the house in hard copy) I probably buy five or six a year; now.

It used to be 15-20 or more.

Not a good trend.
