FEAST FOR THE EYES>>
- War & Peace. Leo Tolstoy. I tried audio-booking this once before and couldn’t get into it, but this time I really like it. I was totally like: “Natasha! You fool, Anatole is a creep!”
- Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Harriet Beecher Stowe. I’m glad I’m reading it, but not a favorite. I’ll have to read something super trashy next after these two books.
- The Unsung Hero. Suzanne Brockmann. Speaking of trashy, I ended up starting this book which Matt insists is an addictive series. It’s always weird for me to read a modern book after I’ve been living in the past for so long so maybe it’s that, but I feels really like a mindless read and I know what all the characters are up to.
OVER AND OVER AGAIN>>
- “Never seen such good things.” Devendra Banhart. Was absolutely obsessed when I first got here.
- “A little bit of everything.” Dawes. Yet again.
- “Do wrong right.” The Devil Makes Three. Banjos always.
