Sorry Hannah, I returned The Year of Magical Thinking after finishing it yesterday for another book I wanted to read, Dennis Cooper's The Sluts, which I finished this morning and am about to return for another book. Possible options being considered as I finish this cup of coffee before heading out to the bookstore: Humboldt's Gift, Herzog, Rabbit, Run, The Berlin Diaries, (big maybe here):Will in the World. What to do, what to do? I want something new like W.G. Sebald but I don't know what that would be - any suggestions? I think I should get something new because most of these books with luck I could find at a used bookstore for cheap, but new books seem so blah except for some hardcovers which is more in store credit than I will have after returning this Cooper paperback.
