What I've been reading
I read, or rather listened to,
What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions. I would describe the performance by Wil Wheaton as 'competent,' but other than that it was a fun roadtrip book.
I read
My Brilliant Friend, the first of those Neapolitan novels that everyone's been raving about, and understandably so. There are nowhere near enough books where the most important relationship is a complicated friendship between two women-well, girls, in most of this volume, anyway.
On our return trip we listened to
David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants. Malcolm Gladwell is always an engaging writer-maybe even a little too engaging-but I have to say, he has the most soothing voice. I could listen to him narrate his own books all day.
What I'm reading now
The Story of a New Name, the second Neapolitan novel.
