. Book of the Month

This month’s Book of the Month was supposed to be Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84.  But that book turned out to be three books and it’s taking a while to get through, so in the meantime I read Freedom by Jonathan Franzen.



It’s about a family of annoying Americans who go around being annoying to each other and to everyone else.  They go to college, they have affairs, they drone on and on about politics, and they are colossally annoying.

Give it a miss.

I just finished Hilary Mantel's "Bring Up The Bodies." Now I have to wait a couple years to find out what Cromwell is up to in next book.
