What are you reading?

[W.B. Keckler]

Wow! You people are reading good stuff! I'm always reading several books concurrently...this week it's mostly poetry: Il Cuore by Kathleen Fraser, New Math by Cole Swensen, The Book of Resemblances by Jabes, and Desire by Frank Bidart. An extended essay by Anne Carson I'm enjoying is Economy of the Unlost, her book on Celan and Simonides of Keos. New books I reviewed recently include Nest by Mei-mei Berssenbrugge and Problem Pictures (verbo-visual works) by Spencer Selby. Would be happy to talk with any of you page-nosers, especially those addicted to poetry and weird hybrids of fiction and poetry. Bill K.

I'm now onto Patricia Cornwell's "BlowFly" and Stephen King's newest, the 5th in the Dark Tower series.

Welcome, W.B.! Nice to see a new face around here. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Finished reading Stephen's King's Wolves of Calla. Really enjoyed it. Glad the rest of the Dark Tower comes out later this year.

Just started The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, since everyone everyone I know talks about. We'll see what I think.

Currently reading KISS: BEHIND THE MASK, The Official Authorized Biography by David Leaf and Ken Sharp.

THE PORTABLE TWENTIETH-CENTURY RUSSIAN READER, Clarence Brown, Ed.

[Branflakes]

Heh, I meant to ask you how Penthouse's letters were. I used to sneak and read my dad's copies when I was a kid.

Am reading Dean Kootnz's FROM THE CORNER OF HIS EYE and just started Stephen King's SONGS OF SUSANNAH - BOOK SIX OF DARK TOWER series.

Anm also reading Lauren Keller( or is it Kelly?)'s TAKE ME, TAKE ME WITH YOU.

Still working through the RUSSIAN READER.

The book of letters was enjoyable as always. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] As they're by women, I feel it gives a different...thrill. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Better give me a mop so I can clean up something else. [img]wink.gif[/img]
