Hi!
I'n reading Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky. It's about the German occupation in France durring WW2. It is really good, a good get away to another world book. Apparently she wrote this in a consentration camp, puts me to shame....Hey I am your fan, and I just read some of your blog for the first time today. As we say in Japanese,
ganbare, which means 'keep on truckin'' 'don't give up' 'try try try' and all that in one word. My
ganbare includes a tinge of 'take care' too

Thanks for the tip. I might've picked that one up.
The book I'm reading now is "Pontoon" by Garrison Keilor, the radio guy on NPR who does
A Prairie Home Companion. If you like the Lake Woebegon stories, this new one is along the same lines. I wrote a review of
Neither Wolf Nor Dog by Kent Nerbern on my own blog -- a two-thumbs-up review. The story is a kind of prolonged journey with the writer and an Indian elder through history and culture and back again. But I'm into anything about underdogs...

I must get back to a good novel. After the relationship break up I've gone down the self-help book road (terribly predictable)! Have you ever read any of Paul Auster's novels? He's an interesting writer.
