Your rec motivates me to do so. Matthew just started the Game of Thrones books! We have finally outed ourselves as Throne-aholics. I bet when you get to the end, it'll seem like "wait, what? What do I do now? I'm so invested in this!" just like on the show.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-55896198515471344442013-07-21T12:52:35.660-05:002013-07-21T12:52:35.660-05:00I love finding authors in anthologies that you mig...I love finding authors in anthologies that you might never have heard of before. Do you know about the New Yorker Fiction podcast? Each month a different author published in New Yorker choses ANOTHER author published in New Yorker... it's so interesting to hear what people-who-write read or admire. I'll have to check out the Tacitus book, it sounds like a hoot! Ancient Roman gossip...sign me up!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-63434807829145181772013-07-21T12:50:42.069-05:002013-07-21T12:50:42.069-05:00Tender is the Night is still my favorite Fitzgeral...Tender is the Night is still my favorite Fitzgerald, but Gatsby's terrific, obviously...and might feel different being non-compulsory.

I think our library has a 50 item limit, which I thought was generous! I think the most books I ever had out at one time was 25, when a bunch of my holds all came in at once.

In it I found a fantastic essay by Alice Templeton called "Elegant Economy." I liked her writing so much that I scanned Amazon and found "Cupid's Dart. I also have been into Mary McCarthy (Memoirs of a Catholic Girlhood) and Edith Wharton. This may sound pretentious, but Tacitus' Histories are awfully interesting, too. Those crazy Roman emperors and their mothers!! He's like some gossipy old biddy dishing over the neighbors..sigh.
