FOR THE WEEK OF MAY 17-23
WHAT I’M READING: I’m in need of a book. Can you help me? I can help you if you’re interested in old magazines. I’m purging. Contact me for the list.
WHAT ELSIE’S READING: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin repeatedly. All the other children’s books we [...]
FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 8-14
WHAT I’M READING: Seventeen dollars worth of magazines. Simon was appalled. I’m like, that’s only three magazines – one of which was NOT People’s. I read it at the cash. And anyway, how can you read a book on the plane with Elsie and her many needs, which seem to [...]
For the week of March 1-7:
WHAT I’M READING: A French novel, Lignes de faille by Nancy Huston. I read this novelist for the first time in University. But somehow reading with the knowledge that I will be writing NO paper has made me love her even more. What a precocious protagonist, that Sol! Nope, don’t [...]

For the week of December 14-20:
WHAT I’M READING: Malcolm Gladwell’s The Outliers. Very interesting study of who makes it big and why.
WHAT SIMON’S READING: He’s not reading anything because we had this romantic notion that I would read The Outliers to him on the road. That was before we packed the car so tight talking [...]
For the week of December 4-10:
WHAT I’M READING: You’re probably surprised, but I haven’t quite finished Portrait of a Lady. Somehow I thought I would get more read while Elsie was napping. Wait. What are naps?
WHAT SIMON’S READING: One hundred books in one year. I’m like, Si, that’s 8.3 books a month. What will The [...]

For the week of Nov 23-29:
WHAT I’M READING: The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. Yes, it’s a big read for someone with mashed potato brains. But I like to keep myself in a perpetual state of agitation. And carrying around a book that weighs Elsie’s body weight certainly does the trick.
WHAT SIMON’S READING: [...]
