Just thought I’d give a little update on my reading progress. I’m still mostly listening to audios this month (and still painting). I knocked out another two Pulitzer winners, The Good Earth and The Age of Innocence, both of which I enjoyed more than last month’s two Pulitzers. I am also slowly reading Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood. I’m enjoying it so far but only get to read it for about 30 minutes each night.
As most of you know, the Booker longlist was announced and I’ve made some plans to at least read Brooklyn by Colm Toibin and The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters and possibly The Wilderness by Samantha Harvey. I am also interested in How to Paint a Dead Man by Sarah Hall and Love and Summer by William Trevor, but neither of them will be released until September. It’s really frustrating to not be able to have access to these at the library yet. I know I can use The Book Depository, which I love and have used many times before, but I’m sort of in a spendthift mood right now. I’ll probably just wait to see which ones make it to the shortlist and go from there.
Do you have any Booker favorites yet?
