boxofdelights• What are you reading?
Alif the Unseen, for SF book group. Which is tomorrow.
• What did you recently finish reading?
Iodine, by Haven Kimmel. This is a strange book. It is not a good book, I would not recommend it, but I am very interested in reading anything else she writes. It is the iddiest thing I've read between hard covers in a long time. And I can't tell whether she is handling her material, manipulating it, like an artist, or just... trapped in it. Floundering. Wallowing. That's why I want to read something else.
The Sense of an Ending, by Julian Barnes, for Tawanda book group. Which is not for a couple of weeks, but I had to read it fast and pass it on. Such a cool, dry, careful, detached contrast to the hot wet messy wallow of Iodine. I wonder why the person who chose it chose it. The last book she chose was Sometimes A Great Notion.
• What do you think you’ll read next?
No idea.
