Icarus on holiday # 7
Identity by Milan Kundera read in a day, next Harvest by Jim Grace then Americana by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, holidays are such a pleasure. I have sniffed at The Snow Queen by Michael Cunningham (thus far) but finished the gloomy, My Year of Meats, by Ruth Ozeki and The secret History by Donna Tartt and let's see, Annie Proulx, Amy Tan, Anne Enright, Eimear McBride, och tons to go, the kindle is a joy - though I try to read paper on the beach. But the coffee is now drunk and the pool beckons. 60 lengths in two stages yesterday, more today - oh yay, getting fit in mind and body.
