My Tuesday morning clients have an admirable book collection....
today she caught me looking at titles while I dusted and offered to let me borrow books any time I like... squeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So... I am reading My Struggle: Book One by Karl Ove Knausgaard A Norwegian Marcel Proust. This nerve-striking, addictive piece of hyper-realism, by the Norwegian Critics’ Prize-winning author of A Time For Everything, has created a phenomenon throughout Scandinavia. Click here to read The New Republic’s profile of Knausgaard & the My Struggle series. Almost ten years have passed since Karl Ove Knausgaard’s father drank himself to death. Vulnerable and assailed by doubts, he is now embarking on a new novel. With an uncanny eye for detail, Knausgaard breaks down his own life story to its elementary particles, reliving memories, reopening wounds, and examining with candor the turbulence and the epiphanies that emerge from his own experience of fatherhood, the fallout in the wake of his father’s death, and his visceral connection to music, art, and literature. Negotiating intimacy, love, and fear lie at the heart of his movements and mind as he moves from self-deprecation to self-absorption, from craving solitude to exposing an insatiable need for love and admiration, from alienation to harmony. Karl Ove’s dilemmas strike nerves that give us raw glimpses of our particular moment in history as we witness what happens to the sensitive and churning mind of a young man trying- as if his very life depended on it- to find his place in the disjointed world around him. This Proustian masterpiece opens a window into one of the most original minds writing today. His picture is on the cover of the copy they have. His eyes are so piercing...his memoir promises to be engaging.

Sounds cool! If you have time to come back and review it when done, please do! I have the book "The Atheists Little Book of Spirituality" (I think that's the title). I haven't read it yet but love the concept!

Diviners by Libba Bray
I just finished her "Going Bovine" and loved it so I thought I would explore her other works. So far it is pretty interesting, I like the way she develops her characters and her playful use of language. Diviners is set in NY in the 1920s and is about a group of people who have powers, for example the main character is able to read objects by touching them. Of course there is a supernatural bad guy and peril ensues.

Currently trying to get 'into' Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. It took me a while to get into Gone Girl too, but I was glad I did. By half way through I was addicted. Hoping this will be the same. P.S the movie didn't do it justice

Today I bought three books. Little Gone Girl by Alexander Burt (also known as Mia is Missing)
The Girl with A Clock for A Heart by Peter Swanson AND Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. I'm ashamed to say I never read the HP series. Fantasy is not a genre I part take in much. But I do remember seeing maybe 2 of the movies years ago and enjoying them. For some reason for the passed week I've had a niggling feeling to read them... Or at least give them a shot. So I may start with Harry, and move on to my usual genre of Thriller... Don't judge me....
