For the Anon who asked to see what’s on my bedside table.

Bedside reading.

Currently:
Minor Robberies by Deb Olin Unferth
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides (reread)

The Eugenides I haven’t read since I was 16, so I’m looking forward to this. I’m only a couple of pages into both. After finishing most of these books (only have three left), I allowed myself to pick up something new.

You think your currently reading list is long? Welcome to mine.

• Down and Out in Paris and London is my primary read right now.
• The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao I’m starting today, reading with Philippa.
• Life is Elsewhere is another starting today, reading with Zoë.
• To The Lighthouse for my book club with Manuel.
• The Crying of Lot 49 is taking forever to read. I don’t look forward to picking it up so I don’t end up picking it up. And when I do, I only read two or three pages before I’m frustrated. 
• As I Lay Dying I’m enjoying the writing, but the constant switch in character perspectives before all the characters are well established is confusing me.
• Risk I’m reading slowly and only when I feel like it, but I’m actually enjoying it.
• The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat l love, but it’s all psychology and combined with the amount of Psych revision I’m doing isn’t always an attractive choice.
• Kiss Kiss a collection of short stories by the wonderful Roald Dahl. My first read of his, apart from his autobiographies, that is not a children’s book.
• My Mistress’s Sparrow is Dead is the most wonderful collection of short stories ever, and I don’t want to finish it, so I only read one story at a time and leave large gaps in between.

This is ridiculous. [Very, very enjoyable, but ridiculous].
