What Are You Reading Monday – 14Sep09
What are you reading Mondays is hosted by J. Kaye’s Book Blog
It’s the week of the “Michaels”.
I’ve just finished reading for the second time:
Galore
“An intricate family saga and a love story spanning two centuries…propelled by the disputes and alliances, grievances and trade-offs that bind the Sellers and Devine families through generations.”
Michael Crummey surpasses my (very high) expectations in his third novel about Newfoundland life. I promise a review this week.
I’m currently reading:
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
“Joe Kavalier, a young Jewish artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdini-esque escape, has just smuggled himself out of Nazi-invaded Prague and landed in New York City. His Brooklyn cousin Sammy Clay is looking for a partner to create heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit America–the comic book.”
