The Book Ahead

The reading list I referred to in yesterday's post comprises Orhan Pamuk's The Museum of Innocence, an issue of Prog magazine (the one with a very psychedelic Syd Barrett on the cover) an issue of Philosophy Now and an issue of The New York Review of Books. The idea of getting through so few items in three weeks might appear unambitious, but I have an odd feeling I'm not going to succeed given the to do lists I could so easily assemble if I had time. Still Pamuk's novel has got a great opening and has already got its subtle claws into me so perhaps all is not lost.
