Love books, art, stone carving, animals, perfume, beach... do not like cold weather. Vegetarian. Lived life as a neuropsychologist.
The Sequel and The Plot, by Jean Hanff Korelitz. I loved this pair of books. Anna/Dianna/Rose -- what an anti-hero(ine)! I was sorry to see Sequel end, but I raced through it because I just had to keep turning the pages. I love Korelitz's clever trick with Sequel's chapter titles, too.

I gobbled Strout's "Tell Me Everything" way too fast; but it's so easy to just keep going, and then -- poof! -- it's over. Meeting those familiar characters again in their later years was so interesting, and I worried most of the way through about the fate of Matt Beach. Old friends.

I just finished reading Donna Tartt's "Little Friend." A couple of years ago I read her "Secret History." She is at the top of my list for favorite authors. Those books are great. I have not read "Goldfinch" because saw movie.

I finished reading Erdrich's Mighty Red a couple of days ago. No goal for number of books read in some specific unit of time. Just keeping track of what I read and open to suggestions for wonderful books. In this case, the book was good but not great. I liked her "The Sentence" much more.

My 2nd book of 2025, just finished reading Crime & Punishment (454 pps printed out to the edges). I read it last about 65 years ago. IMHO Dostoevsky is way over-rated. He rambles, pads, uses cliffhangers (to entice readers in the original periodical platform. Other opinions?

I don't quite understand what to do to make a post visible to specific feeds. I want to post sometimes about dogs. Today I tried starting with the words "Dogs of Bluesky." Photo shows Carmen, my Golden Doodle who is mostly poodle, on a snowy beach.

My first read of 2025: James by Percival Everett. Had to re-read it immediately. I don't find words to express how this book made me feel. It's complex. A great book.

Just finished re-reading my first book of 2025. I re-read it immediately after reading it the first time. It merits 100% all of the praise that it has received.
