What I'm Reading #83


Do you have books that you've read more than once, just because once is not enough? I do. Lord knows, I've read James Baldwin's "Go Tell It On The Mountain" at least 4 times, and some parts even more. Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" is two-fer, along with Ann Patchett's "Run". I am presently adding "Gentlemen of the Road" by Michael Chabon to this list of multiple read-worthy books. And this one is just pure fun. An adventure in the mode of comics and classic swashbuckler tales. This edition even includes illustrations by Gary Gianni in the uber-classic style of Frank Frazetta. It's language is rich and idiosyncratic in a way that just demands ones delight.
