Right now, I'm working on Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar and Jules Verne's The Lighthouse at the End of the World. Yourcenar as Hadrian is remarkable describing the autumn of his life. The imagery of seeing your impending mortality akin to making out more and more detail of the coastline as you approach it from the sea touched me particularly. I put the Tailor of Panama back on my nightstand in light of LeCarré's recent passing, and I'm fishing for a copy of Slaughterhouse-Five. I know I could just download it, but I'm a hard-cover romantic.
