Post-Wednesday Non-Reading
It isn't that I haven't been reading anything at all; it's just that it's been mostly work obligations, magazines, and books I don't want to give up on but don't have much to say about yet. I did just start Transcendent Kingdom, Yaa Gyasi's new book about a young neuroscientist and her mentally ill mother, and I'm enjoying or rather optimistically pre-enjoying it so far, though the pages in my hardcover edition are weirdly thick. Not crazily "self-published by gullible small-town poet in 1911" thick, but thick enough to confuse the fingertips and make me check the page number every time.
I did get Wolf Hall for Christmas, along with several other books and bookstore gift cards. The real news isn't about a book, but about a container for books. We've gotten permission from the landlord to put up a Little Free Library in our apartment complex, and all the parts arrived yesterday. I took care to order the most prefabricated For Clumsy Babies version available, but it turns out there's still going to be some drilling involved, so wish me luck.
Oh, and happy new year, everyone!
