Summer Reading
My July 4th weekend consisted largely of reading and sleeping in the grass. How appropriate that I was reading this book.
I loved it. It’s been a long time since I got excited about a book, so I feel the need to spread the word. As you can see, it’s The Accidental by Ali Smith. It came out a few years ago.
While I’m talking of new favorite things, the best movie I saw recently was Please Give (not spectacular, but unexpectedly good), and in the music category I’ve been enjoying The National’s Boxer (admittedly late to this one too).

Oh, I have a copy of that in my big-pile-of-unread-books. I’ll bump it to the top – thanks for the tip!

This looks really good. Thanks for the suggestion. Also, this morning, the poem “I never saw a purple cow” is going through my head. I have the urge to knit one, so I thought I should come here for cow possibilities. :) Have a great day!

I heard about this book from the Tournament of Books, which is one of my sources for new(ish) fiction. They’ve been doing the tournament every March since 2005, set up in a bracket like the NCAA March Madness. (themorningnews.org/tob)
Haven’t gotten to this one yet, but it’s on the list – glad to get another recommendation.
