What I'm reading now: The Judgement of Paris - Manet, Messonier, and the birth of impressionism 2008 Read The Man Who Would be King 2007 Reads A record of some of the books I've read this year (or in some cases, reread). November: Been buying and reading lots of new stuff. Death's Acre, by Dr. Bill Bass. Story of the "Body Farm." Unfortunately he enlisted a science writer to help, who turned it into a weirdly cheerful bio with little interesting detail. Out, by Natsuo Kirino. Great characterization and well plotted, until the very disappointing ending.
2007 Reads A record of some of the books I've read this year (or in some cases, reread). June: Right now I'm focused on books about bookbinding & repair, with some literature and critical studies thrown in. & ForeignForeign Studies, by Shusaku Endo. Three linked stories on Japanese students studying in Europe, and the overwhelming impact of trying to absorb a completely different culture. M: The Man Who Was Caravaggio, by Peter Robb. 500+ pages, massively researched, wikipedia-like in its completeness, if somewhat adjectively deprived, shored up by a sincere appreciation for the artist and the desire to chivvy out what little information has survived about the great painter, who died in 1610 at 39 (and left a legacy that transformed European art). All the Shah's Men, by Stephen Kinzer. Another of those books that ought to be assigned reading in every school, detailing the depths of the US involvement in the 1953 coup backing the Shah of Iran. Truly an object lesson in that we are now reaping what we have sown.

What I'm reading now: Non-Adhesive Book Binding, Volume I, by Keith Smith. I am reading and working through Smith's series of NA binding books. The Fixer, Bernard Malamud. Undoubtedly not far off as a picture of the treatment of Jews in Tsarist Russia. M: The Man Who Was Caravaggio, and who has sat unread on my shelf long enough. 2007 Reads
