What I've been reading:

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" by Mark haddon. Told from the point of view of an autistic teenager. What an amazing book...excellent! I see it's on Bolen's best seller list at #1 this week.

"Elizabeth Costello" by J.M. Coetzee. I'm quite glad he won the Nobel prize for literature. He is always an interesting and intelligent writer. Not too sure how to respond to his latest...could be quite brilliant or just reworked previously written essays loosely put into novel form. Lots of intriguing ideas and somehow I was involved and interested with the "protagonist" who mainly goes round to various conferences and gives talks. The novel mainly consists of these talks.
