Received a couple of books as gifts early in the year, and they've gone down a treat. Read Yoko Ogawa's The Housekeeper and the Professor a week or so ago and greatly enjoyed it. Never thought a novel firmly centred on Mathematics (and Japanese baseball) would engage me, but this one did. And it was genuinely moving in its conclusion. Now reading a very fine murder by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling in drag) and it's a blast. Hoping to finish it soon to find out whodunnit, but don't want to rush.
And, not exactly a gift but free from the library, I dipped into the opening pages of Bob Dylan's Greenwich Village girlfriend Suze Rotolo's memoir A Freewheelin' Time and found myself fascinated by her life pre-Dylan, as it were. Obviously a strong character in her own right/write.
And now it's back to Galbraith's engaging sleuth and a few more pages before hitting the pillow.
