What swanky things are you reading?

Just finished G.L.'s Phantom of the Opera. A master of gothic horror, this novel. I just *love* it. Plus, such a human story, after all is said and done.

Almost finished with a retelling of that story by Susan Kay called Phantom.

And also near the end of Book the 11th of the Lemony Snicket books, which have really, really grown on me.

I read Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons on vacation. Also, Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons. Neither was great, and neither was a waste of time.

Up next: something by Kent Haruf. Can't remember the title, and it's upstairs. I loved Plainsong, so hopefully this is stylistically similar.

Now they probably didn't de-stem, hoping for some semblance of concentration, crushed it up with leaves and mice, and then wound up with this rancid tar and turpentine bull**. Fin' Raid. Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
