Pickle Me This

Bits and Pieces

My bits and pieces reading continues, and though all of it’s so good, I’m craving the solidity of a novel. So now reading Like Mother by Jenny Diski (whose blog I keep checking for updates), as well as My Mistress’s Sparrow is Dead (which has just done me the great pleasure of introduction to Lorrie Moore).

I’ve been suffering from February in this mean mean wind, and it’s not even February yet. Consolation to be taken from a list of thoughtful artful stuff on the internet, 29 things to be happy about (via Leah), 100 books every child should read, and the teakettle whistle at the end of the Goldfrapp video.

One thought on “Bits and Pieces”

  1. Jennica says:

    Whoa! Are you brand new to Lorrie Moore? I’m envying you right now. Eventually you finish her books and realize there are no more. Not yet. And then ten years go by.
