Got a slew of books from amazon (doing my part to fix the economy) but haven't had a chance to read any of them. Instead, I've been reading
The Mists of Avalon, one of Heather's favorite books. It's strange, such a different story than
The Once and Future King, one of my favorite books. Stuff waiting in the queue:
My Ears are Bent, by Joseph Mitchell;
Where Mathematics Comes From by George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez; some more Philip Roth, some Cormac McCarthy, and
The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton. Also read
Away Offshore, another Nat Philbrick book about Nantucket. As it turns out, my family only spent a few years on Nantucket, before moving to Martha's Vineyard, so I suppose I need to get a book on Martha's Vineyard instead.
