the airport and airplane time yielded surprisingly little reading this time--at least of books. i was in a magazine mood, i guess! anyway, briefly, 'cause i'm tired:
kathryn davis' the thin place
this novel is a little disorienting if you, say, put it down and don't read it for a couple days 'cause you're saving the rest for the airplane. there is a large cast of characters and sometimes you sort of have to go, "oh yeah, andrea murdock, she's the bookbinder" and remind yourself. but it's ok, b/c it's a good story--it's about one summer in a town that's sort of on a thin place so sometimes weird things happen, like a little girl who has the power to resurrect the dead. my favorite bits were the ones with the dogs, who were delightfully doggy. there's a lot of really interesting things going on sort of subtly in the story, and i'm sorry if that doesn't make sense but i'm sleepy so forget it.
