Summer reading
Quarantine by Jim Crace - some lovely descriptive passages but, on the whole, extremely tedious.
True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey - fascinating, if a bit repetitive. (I had it on audiobook - poorly read - probably didn't help.)
House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III - faired better of the 2nd attempt and really enjoyed it, although it wasn't particularly literary.
Towards Zero by Agantha Christie - an interesting one in that it worked backward (or rather, forward) from the planning of the crime towards its execution. Very good.
Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh - heavenly.
Still mightily enjoying Borges' Ficciones, albeit in small doses.
