Reading Wednesday!

I finished A Tale for the Time Being. I enjoyed it very much. It's a thoughtful, chewy book, but the voice of teenage Nao also keeps it lively. In some ways it was the perfect book for a middle-aged frustrated writer who has somewhat recently dealt with the death by suicide of close friends to read, if you can see what I mean.

I like the trick of how Ozeki made it not a memoir. And that got me thinking, too.

P.S. it's a science fiction book. Complete with appendix on the Many-Worlds Hypothesis (which is B.S., but fictively fertile B.S. always).

So now I am back to reading Rides of the Midway but it's not the same, and I am having that problem of "what do you read after reading a really good book?" I'm sure I'll figure something out.
