I am on break between academic quarters, and am not on any crushing deadlines (is my agent reading this? shhhh....) and so, am reading. For fun!
What am I reading?
1. The Habit of Being, by Flannery O'Connor. Again. I re-read this periodically because she was such a complicated person, and it's an intimate view of her world, her writing, the world at large then, and feels so comfortable.
2. Have ordered and will drop everything upon arrival of "The Warmth of Other Suns," by Isabel Wilkerson.
3. "Cornbread Nation #5" makes great bedside reading.
I do other things besides read. I shop, for example, thanks to a Scoutmob discount at Mooncake. (Yum. Expensive fabulous clothes in Virginia Highland.) I weed the garden before ten a.m. when I might melt.
I look forward to the 2 book club visits coming up, the two events in Columbus, Georgia, this weekend, and meeting the students from Erato, the literary magazine at Georgia Tech next week!

I did a reading for Erato earlier this year and it was fun.
Excellent. I'm excited about it, and then I think we're going to the Finishing Line reading afterward, so prob see you there!
