Read-a-thon


I'm up. I'm reading. I will report in at noon.

I'm reading The Cradle by Patrick Somerville. Other possible reads:

The Entropy of AaoronRosclatt by James Sandham
The Sum of Our Days by Isabel Allende
Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi
Onitsha by J.M.G. le Clezio
A Thousand Rooms of Dream and Fear by Atiq Rahimi
My Hachette giveaway of The Girl Who Stopped Swimming is open until Sunday midnight. Canada and the US only and no P.O. boxes, sorry.
Just noticed that this is my 200th post. Whoop de...nevermind.
