Weekday reads

I’ve hit a bit of a wall with The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter and am in need of a good distraction. I’ve got a few tabs open in my browser just waiting to be read*:

  • A long article from The Atlantic on Joan Didion. It’s by Caitlin Flanagan. Could be interesting or enraging. I’ll try not to be too biased.
  • Guernica considers how book design will affect the future of the printed book.
  • I’ll admit I don’t quite get Gertrude Stein. I’m hoping Lynne Tillman will help. 
  • Oh, and this, because I’m having a hard time not being angry at smart women pretending not to be or assuming the rest of us aren’t. I’m looking forward to this review.

*Sure, I could use Instapaper but I rarely go back and read things. It has become my reading purgatory.
