I’m plowing through three at the moment:
1) Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
2) Fear of Flying by Erica Jong
3) Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernières
Despite their very obvious (if you’ve read them) differences, there are surprising similarities too. 1 & 3 are both set partially if not wholly in Greece. 1 & 2 have characters visit/live in Germany who are American in origin.
Stay tuned!
Melbourne earlier this week was experiencing beautiful weather. Everyone I talked to outside at the time opened their arms to the sky and said, “Isn’t it glorious?” We all suffer during winter. I’ve spoken about it before, and I’m sure others who live in cold climes feel the same. I put the Van Dyke quote in because, naturally, the weather turned nasty again yesterday, but I’ll keep it in mind, looking forward to happy-sunny times again.
