Two books I have been wanting to read!
 
I didn't read this when it came out, but I am curious about it. It didn't get the greatest reviews, but Mary Gaitskill's pretty interesting anyway.
 
I gave my dad 
The World Is What It Is, Patrick French's new biography of V. S. Naipaul,  for Hannukah, and since then I have been thinking of rereading some of his novels. This is a good one.
YAY SERENDIPITY!
