BOOKS I'VE READ LATELY:

J.M. Coetzee - Disgrace
Curtis Sittenfeld - Prep (I know! Again! One day I will write a really long blog post about Prep, and why it is so good.)
Gillian Flynn - Sharp objects

Now I'm reading The Great Gatsby, but since that is for my module in English literature, what I am really reading is The New York trilogy by Paul Auster.

THE BLINDFOLD

Finished reading The blindfold by Siri Hustvedt a couple of days ago. It was so, so good. It is her debut novel and it is slightly different to the way she writes now, which of course is only natural. Anyway, I loved it. Have a minor (read: major) obsession on Siri Hustvedt going on, which you probably have guessed from my recent posts. But I am slowly trying to get out of it, so I'm reading Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee now. Read it years ago, but the only thing I could remember was that I thought it was very good. That hasn't changed.

Other news: Marisha Pessl is finally publishing another novel. It's called Night film and will be released in August. Exciting!

A ROOM TO WRITE IN ISN'T LIKE OTHER ROOMS

Writer's room: Siri Hustvedt

THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT YOU ARE: IMPOSSIBLE.

Started reading Invisible by Paul Auster yesterday evening, finished it just now. It was incredibly good.
