After nearly ten months of failing to update this blog, I decided that it was time for a change. I updated my Wordpress installation, retitled the blog, reorganized the pages and tried to mark them as outdated.
I will continue to blog about the books I read here, but it will be much less structured and formal. Hopefully, in the process, I will also update more often and provide interesting content.
Some books I recently read and enjoyed since June:
- White Teeth, by Zadie Smith (Amazon | Powell’s)
- The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz (Amazon | Powell’s)
- Bonsai, by Alejandro Zambra (Amazon | Powell’s)
- The Housekeeper and the Professor, by Yoko Ogawa (Amazon | Powell’s)
- A Scholar of Magics, by Caroline Stevermer (Amazon | Powell’s)
- Thank You, Jeeves, by P.G. Wodehouse (Amazon | Powell’s)
I also neurotically reread some Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones.
I haven’t decided yet whether to replace Amazon links with Powell’s/Indiebound links or merely append them. The reboot of this blog is still a work in progress, I’m afraid.
