Books Being Read: The Eclectic List, for Your Perusal
It's been a busy week of deadlines and I've been more active on facebook than here, but I've wanted to post some photos of the books I'm reading or have set aside to read, because I think all of these titles are fairly fascinating. Some of them are perfect for dipping into, like the nature titles. The Tim Robinson books are magnificent in that regard—the finest I have ever read. Others like the Nabokov and the Perec are re-reads: books that certainly deserve and reward the effort. Dalkey Archive Press continues to bring us great translated works, and you can see a Michael Cisco title peeking out there. The Vanishers also looks quite intriguing. Rondo I've started and it's very promising. Click through the links to check out more about all of them.
