I often don't have time these days for listing reads, especially when I'm back to working two jobs for 12-13 hours/day, but seeing how it's now the evening of August 3rd and no post has been made, here ya go.
The books around me are:
NoViolet Bulawayo's Booker-longlisted We Need New Names
Matt Bell, In the House upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods
Giacomo Leopardi's Zibaldone (in both Italian and English; the English is just over 2500 print pages, the Italian has almost 4000 e-book pages on my iPad)
Jack Whyte, Robert the Bruce
Claude Simon, The Acacia
Colum McCann, TransAtlantic (another Booker-longlisted title)
You?
Je suis méchant.
