Dan's Friend Comments

Hi, Zoe. Just finished "Let the Great World Spin," and am now working my way through "The Children's Book" by A.S. Byatt (the pace takes some getting used to, but you sink into it pretty deeply and fairly comfortably). In preparation for a trip overseas, am trying to read an appreciable chunk of the Robert Hughes nonfiction opus, "Barcelona." Also hope to read one of Manuel Vazquez Montalban's Pepe Carvalho mysteries (I think they're all set in Barcelona). What about you? Anything you'd highly recommend? My greatest wish is that David Mitchell would publish something new, but with nothing on the horizon I ended up finding a short story of his online, which I think must've been published a few years back in The Guardian.

Hi Dan. Thanks for Friending me. What are you reading at the moment?
