gwynnegaWhat are you reading now?
Still reading The Waves. I love Virginia Woolf and usually devour her novels quickly, but I'm having a hard time getting into this one. I guess it's the polyphonic first-person voices that are making it hard for me to settle in.
I'll Stand By You: The Letters of Sylvia Townsend Warner and Valentine Ackland: Absolutely loving it, though I suspect I'll be reading it in dribs and drabs for awhile.
What did you just finish reading?
Dodie Bellamy's The Buddhist. Highly recommended. So wide-ranging and wild and thinky. It was interesting how different the reading experience was, reading this as a book, as opposed to reading the blog entries as she posted them. Here's one of the blog entries, for an idea of the feel of Dodie's prose (though I note that in the book, she edited out the second half of the post).
What will you read next?
Possibly American Isis, the new Sylvia Plath biography I just got for the Kindle.
