I thought, finally. A man who can make a woman feel like a girl. And who can make that girl feel like a slut. And who can make that slut feel like a woman.
From bookslut I have learned that The Morning News has launched The First Annual TMN Tournament of Books. Complete with bracketed breakdowns. It would be fun to read along, but since I am one girl, and they are many judges, I might have to wait until they narrow down the competition. Below is the list of books they are reading, grouped according to the first rounds. You can download a pdf of the bracket chart here. Also, this post on the bookslut blog, made me laugh out loud.... books for babies sounds like a fair trade to me.
The Plot Against America Philip Roth
The Bad Boy’s Wife Karen Shepard
The News From Paraguay Lily Tuck
The Inner Circle TC Boyle
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell Susanna Clarke
The Rope Eater Ben Jones
Heir to the Glimmering World Cynthia Ozick
Human Capital Stephen Amidon
Cloud Atlas David Mitchell
The Finishing School Muriel Spark
An Unfinished Season Ward Just
The Dew Breaker Edwidge Danticat
I Am Charlotte Simmons Tom Wolfe
Wake Up, Sir Jonathan Ames
Birds Without Wings Louis De Bernieres
Harbor Lorraine Adams
I do want to read I Am Charlotte Simmons. Someday. But the next book I want to read is Glimpses of the Devil : A Psychiatrist's Personal Accounts of Possession, Exorcism, and Redemption. Come on... how am I supposed to resist that. It's psychology AND satan. It would make a great book for Satan's Bookclub. [which I am working on, btw. I just haven't been happy with any design I've come up with.]
