This is all Maria's fault; and I mean that in the best way. I had to pick up my copy of Three Men in A Boat by Jerome K Jerome today and I don't go into a used bookstore without looking around. I additionally found Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon and The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster. I've always loved Chabon, and Auster I've recently developed some serious interest in.
I didn't need to shopping, but it happens. I'll be reading Chabon very soon; as in after my boat ride.
I'll be interested in your comments on Gentlemen of the Road.In his afterword, Chabon says he toyed with naming it "Jews with Swords."
ReplyDeleteEither you're a big Chabon fan or you've read everything under the sun that has been published at least two years ago.
ReplyDeleteOh and Gentlemen of the Road is a classy name, but Jews with Swords would have sold better.
