Hm. No Summer Without Men. I used to have What I Loved, but it got ruined in a flood. Sorry.
I had no idea her rep was so solid. |

I am reading "The Blazing World" now and ordered the stuff she wants us to have...
But after the one I am reading now I'll probably read Summer Without Men. Cause that's been sitting on my bookshelf for ages now! Thanks bud!

Have you read any Updike before? Both of those are really good.

Reading Full Moon by P.G. Wodehouse.
Seems that it was written a loooong time ago; even earlier than the XXth century. Witty but, well, not funny. I'll jump to: Gore Vidal, Ogawa It, Richard Goolrick, Ulrich Becher |

JUST LOOKING by John Updike
STAINED GLASS by William F. Buckley, Jr. Took the summer to slowly read Updike's SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS. Fascinating read.

About 100 pages into this
![]() fucking awesome. Gald I am reading it now and not when I was 20. I have read much about all the different things this writer draws from to write this book, so I can actually get it all. If I had read this 20 years ago I would have missed most of it.
