It is so far. There's two stupid statements in one of the introductions, but besides that, it's been superb.
Still reading Labyrinth - it's big so it stays at home and other books commute with me! Also reading:
Just started this comic novel in which female animals begin to change into humans and human women begin to turn into animals.
Just what it says. A young man in Togo learns about this place called "Greenland" and as an adult makes a journey first to France, then eventually to Greenland. Written almost as an ethnography, this is starting out to be really, really interesting.
Something of a major disappointment. This is a book you WANT to like. But I cannot. It is not awful, but it just rambles. And I still have about 100 pages to go. One of the few times I can say that the movie was better.
Started this last night (and considering how short it is, I'll likely finish it next time I get a chance to read): Also picked up John LeCarre's The Russia House, mostly because the local bookstore didn't have a copy of Smiley's People. My wife picked up Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies after reading a good short story in The New Yorker, so I'll likely give that one a spin sometime soon as well.
