Back in my day? We called this Morrissey.
Now:
Anne Rice: Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession
I'm very interested in reading about Anne's return to the church after a very long lapse, and her thinking/feeling about it. People who find faith after having it previously and then losing it are fascinating to me.
Darwin Porter: Frommer's Italy 2008 (Frommer's Complete)
Research commences for the next year's Italian extravaganza!
Marlena De Blasi: A Thousand Days in Tuscany: A Bittersweet Adventure
Reminds me a lot of the Pat Conroy cookbook, as a mixture of storytelling and recipes that I find appealing. So far the stories are engaging and the recipes look delicious, but I'm not sure how I feel about the writer.
Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham
So far...difficult. Something about this era of Edwardian literature translates better to film than from page to my brain. But I'm perservering, mostly imagining Edward Norton in Painted Veil as my inspiration.
