Book Binge
>> 31 January 2009
This Christmas, I asked for books. I like reading and I also enjoy getting books, especially books that the giver likes, because that makes the gift a little bit more memorable. Anyway, between these books that I've received as gifts, some Barnes & Noble gift cards, and a few stops to Nice Price (Used Book Store) I am not the proud owner of more books than I know what to do with! In the past month the following novels have been added to my personal library:
- The Emperor's Children by, Claire Messud
- Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund
- Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by, Dee Brown
- The Savage Detectives by, Roberto Bolano
- Beloved by, Toni Morrison
- The Yiddish Policemen's Union by, Michael Chabon
- Portnoy's Complaint by, Philip Roth
- Underworld by, Don Delillo

I'm currently re-reading Ahab's Wife for probably the 5th or 6th time. The writing is just amazing. It's a hard story to swallow, I find it very raw. It is a woman's book, written from a woman's perspective, and as I woman, I connect with Una in many ways, both solid and abstract. I will be very interested to see if you, as a man, enjoy this book as much as I do.
