What are you reading the week of Sunday, July 26, 2015? [View all]

I've had a busy week. Thursday I had new windows installed in my old house so Wed. was taking down curtains and moving furniture. The install took almost 8 hours and Friday was rehanging curtains, moving furniture and sucking up all the dust. So I am feeling quite in tune with the adventures happening in The Shipping News by Annie Proulx.

I am really enjoying this book. I'm taking my time reading it, because I am frequently exhausted by the end of the day so only get through one chapter. And the chapters are short.

I love how the chapters start with knots, from The Book of Knots. Haven't had a chance to see if that's a real book, but I suspect it is, even though it sounds a bit like Pastafarianism.
Tying knots has always intrigued me and I am going to try doing some of these. Surely this is a metaphor for what's happening in Quoyle's life. Yes, I really like this book.

Plus, during the day while I'm cleaning, I listen to Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin. Eleven cassettes. What a fascinating tale and very well done on tape.

So, what are YOU reading?
