At the end of 2006 I ran out of new titles to read and made use of the holidays and my birthday to re-stock the reading pile. I have definitely increased my knitting book stash but that isn't necessarily the sort of reading I am referring to on this blog.
I did pick up Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins to re-read before I got any new books. I read this book around the time I first moved to NYC. It started my appreciation for Tom Robbins.
It is funny, witty, and especially poignant with all of the "issues" in the Middle East right now. The quote from Library Journal on Amazon.com sums it up quite nicely: "A painter's struggle with her art, a restaurant opened as an experiment in brotherhood, the journey of several inanimate objects to Jerusalem, a preacher's scheme to hasten Armageddon, and a performance of a legendary dance: these are the diverse elements around which Robbins has built this wild, controversial novel."
I have so many new books to read I am not sure I can remember them all to list!!! Here is a quick list of the titles I can remember...
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, Little Earthquakes, Mirror Mirror, Einstein's Dreams, Invisible Cities, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, and Ancestors of Avalon.
Happy reading!
