Just finished Clive Barker's Abarat. (Cool web site, by the way.) Crud! I didn't realize it was the first in a series. Oh well. Only drawback to the novel that I could see is how heavy the gorgeously illustrated pages are. Just TRY holding it open between your thumb and pinky finger while slurping down cereal before work.
Rereading Susanna Moore's In the Cut. Managed to not see the movie, but I may remedy that after I finish the book again. I remember it as intense, sexy, and disturbing. So far seems much the same.
Reading Paula Fox's Desperate Characters for the new book club I joined. So far, a puss-filled, swollen cat bite seems to be a metaphor for the festering wound hiding underneath a couple's pretty life. Yuck. Also, I have an urge to yell, "Block that metaphor!" about every other page. And no one talks like these people. Geez Louise.
