No new book reviews as yet, but I did finally manage to get to the library on Sunday afternoon. I picked up Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies for the Entre Nous book club and am enjoying it immensely. Also, in my stack: Knut Hamsun's Mysteries (many people have recommended Pan, but it wasn't available), Anne Bronte's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and Julian Barnes' England, England. So if it rains all weekend, see if I care!
The Makeout Room was packed as usual for last night's Progressive Reading and I caught the tail-end of Peter Orner reading a piece from what I believe is his novel The Second Coming of Mavala Shikongo. I was intrigued.
If you enjoyed the must-see documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston (my thoughts here), you might also be interested in Soft Skull's Hi, How Are You? The Definitive Daniel Johnston Handbook.
