henna day post / books
It is Henna Day, on a beautiful warm day in LA (in marked contrast to last weekend's monsoon).
I keep not posting on Reading Wednesday, but books I have recently read include: Francesca Forrest's Pen Pal (which I absolutely loved) and Nabokov's Pnin (which has a remarkable lack of narrative drive but gorgeous writing--for example, "The comb, stood on end, resulted in the glass's seeming to fill with beautifully striped liquid, a zebra cocktail"--and manages to be both hilarious and deeply sad).
Currently I am reading: Shirley Jackson's Hangsaman, Mishima's Death in Midsummer, and Nicola Griffith's Hild.
I am looking forward to tonight's True Detective finale.
ETA: I am reacting to Daylight Saving Time in my usual jetlagged fashion. I am looking forward to it being light later in the evenings however.
