I read widely from many genres. Perhaps this blog will feature fewer ratings and reviews, but I certainly intend to write about my reading life - it's the subject I most find myself wanting to talk about.
Currently reading
D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of WWII
Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad
The Path Between the Seas
Chekhov Four Plays
The Gay Science: with a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs
A Kierkegaard Anthology
Notes from the Backlist: Lay Back the Darkness
For those who enjoy poems that interpret/reinterpret, muse upon, or retell Greek myths (who doesn't - I wrote a few myself in younger days), Edward Hirsch's 2003 volume, "Lay Back the Darkness," is one of those books.
Also of particular note is a sequence, "Two Suitcases of Children's Drawings from Terezin, 1942-1944."
