pure summer reading
absolute indulgences.
nothing more. nothing less.
probably enjoyed more than most because of the recipes, which i actually read most (not all), and because much takes place in and around brooklyn. my curiosity was totally peaked with all her talk of authors from brooklyn she dated that published books that got famous. killed me not to know who she was actually talking about. interesting to see how cooking shaped much of her story, or was the frame in which she told her story through. wanted to see her end up with the guy but that is not always the story. i still like a good memoir.
simply passed the time. interesting characters all living in the same building. interesting new york premise. love washington square park as the back drop to the apartment building. did not like the infidelity..... the sex was pass-over-able. perfect for sitting on a beach.... which i was on a lake but same difference for types of books to be reading. just pages i read. i have it if you need to kill sometime on the train. it is perfect and takes no mental energy what so ever.
i can't wait to post about the three other books i am in the middle of. but of course, i can't post until i have finished them.... crazy neurosis of mine. but i am reading some good stuff!!!
side note, i could NOT get through this month's book club book. i skipped our meeting and everything. it was helpful that my mother-in-law was in town for only two nights which was the perfect excuse, but i'm not sure i could have gotten through the book anyway.
happy reading!
