Books, and Not

May 17th, 2006

Poor John Le CarrĂ©! The highly regarded writer of literary espionage thrillers–one of those always cited by critics looking to make the point that genre fiction doesn’t need to be poorly written–has found himself yet again a victim of my attention deficit. I have given Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy a second shot, and, probably through no fault of the book itself, haven’t been able to crack triple digits.

What next? Jack Vance, perhaps. Also eyeing Lewis Carroll and Robert Louis Stevenson. And–of course!–Richard Dawkins. Stay tuned. I know it’s thrilling.

In other news, I am going to open this blog up to other topics. What, you ask? Extreme knitting? Beethoven? Coverage of the mythical Knight Rider movie? Nothing so interesting. Just little posts here and there about the Internet. I do so love the Internet!

    Frankly, I would kill for some coverage of extreme knitting.

    I am a pacifist, so no extreme knitting for you!!!

    Then how about a story on the gentlest knitting known to man?
