Oh very cool Catherine. Neat you got to talk with Stacey D’erasmo. Wonderland seemed poetic to me; I liked the narration too. I will check your site for the review. I’ll have to get to The Sellout. Sounds wild and funny.

I also thought Wonderland was marvelous and was thrilled that I got to interview Stacey when she came to Seattle. I was SO nervous, but she was charming and funny.

I have Born to Run on hold at the library and hoping it comes in before Christmas. I’m a huge fan of Bruce.

You’re welcome Jane. Yeah it’s quite a mix of a book, and worth checking out. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the author write a follow-up of some sorts.

Yeah I hope the Ezekiel part of the show continues to be lighter & less gruesome. Will his tiger end up eating the bad guys? You’re right about Lab Girl; you have to be in the right frame of mind for it. I feel I liked it and thought it was worthwhile to read but didn’t overly love it. So I think raving about it — is a bit overly done. Just lower your expectations a little bit.

Oh thanks for letting me know Deb. Lab Girl was an interesting read for me and perhaps not what I was expecting. It’s a lot about the quirkiness of the author and her lab partner.

Lab Girl. So many people have raved about that one. I have a copy but I feel like I have to be in the right mood to read it.

Thanks RT, my dog is very sweet. She naps when I read. My reading is a bit sporadic lately too. Enjoy your week.
