I am in the middle of Lisa Moore’s February, and I am in love. On the strength of half a novel she has become a MRE (must read everything) author. (Thanks to Buried in Print for the means to make sure that my TBR list never, ever shrinks. Check out her Reading Projects tab for a list of books that is truly daunting.)
In last weekend’s Globe & Mail, with which I only caught up today, there is a lovely snippet from Moore about her daughter reading aloud to her as they drive. I’ve been looking forward to the day that Griffin learns to drive (yes, he’s only 9, but I don’t drive, so an additional driver in the family will be a boon), but I like this idea much better.
I don’t know of the author Lisa Moore but will check her books out when next at the library or book shop. It is exciting finding a new author and I really need a new one to add to my long list and huge pile of books on my bed side table.
Thanks for your comment. How excited was I to see 1 comment this morning. Thanks for the recommendation. Yes I am in Melbourne Australia. Check out my blog on Wednesday as it will be about what I am reading at the moment. I am torn between books and material. Have you read Siri Hustvedt she is one of my favourites?
I adored this book too! It really is brilliant. I also like Siri Hustvedt……
I’ve had her _What I Loved_ on my wishlist for ever, and I’ve recently put her book of essays, _A Plea for Eros_ on my wishlist too. So many wonderful reads to look forward to!
What a great article and a great way to travel. I share her daughters’ addiction to McSweeneys’ stories: good stuff! (And I should really start reading from those MRE tabs instead of constantly adding to them! ::grin::)
