This is indeed a very "in the moment" list, but interesting nontheless. I have also read a number of these, and I did enjoy most.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I was away the last two weeks. There was an essay about books and boys at the end of the NYT Book Review section on August 21st and I wondered if you have seen it. If not, I saved a copy and can maybe email it to you.
Irony of ironies, I just left you the message about the NYT article and found a link on another favorite blog of mine. This is the link

I apologize if I have overdone it on this.
