I finished The Kitchen House – I think it was meant to be a powerful book but as far as I could tell it was only a highly emotional one.

Also currently reading Finnegans Wake –  enjoying it if I don’t try to understand it.  It’s written like a drifty Irish dream – stay there and be happy.  I’m up to page 201. I read a few pages a day – a few paragraphs at a time – hope to be finished by 2012.
