Books, books, and more books

I descended on the local bookstores armed with gift cards again and am now settling into the new year with lots of new reading type things:

• A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz
• Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace
• The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie
• Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
• Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem
• The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
• Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
• Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
• Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates
• Here’s Your Hat, What’s Your Hurry? by Elizabeth McCracken
• City of God by E.L. Doctorow
• Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
• Memento Mori by Muriel Spark
• The Children’s Book by A.S. Byatt

Now it can snow all it wants; I shall be parked by the fire, happy.
