I am currently reading Adverbs: A Novel
by Daniel Handler. I balked, at first, when I saw the recommendation on the back of the book from Dave Eggers. But I'm really glad I picked this up.Daniel Handler's writing is amazing. He writes with such freshness (what does that mean?) and a poetic touch, that I find myself re-reading passages again and again. I will give more notes when I finish it (the second time?).
In the meantime, I am in the middle of moving to another house, so I have been fairly scarce. I am currently in bed with a rather nasty cold virus, so packing, work and everything taking me from my blog is relegated to a later time. For now, I can lounge in bed and read and blog.

I still read your blog and wrote down a number of your suggestions. Jeff, my guru, had me to buy The Sea, but I have barely begun it. I noticed someone suggested Dying Animal, which I own. It is still in my huge pile of unread books. Have you read it yet? I was really interested in the list of books you have read recently. We have read several of the same books. I noticed Disgrace, which I thought was a fascinating book. I wondered why you didn't mention it in your blog?
