The last book I read before this was Ha'Penny, and now I'm immersed in The Golden Notebook. Sometimes a person needs some palate-cleansing fluff. If it was too profound, it wouldn't cleanse the palate - too lame, and it would just be irritating. This collection of essays about life in one's twenties walked the required line.

Donde viven el monstruos, by Maurice Sendak (reread, sort of)
Another childhood favorite just rusty enough that reading it in Spanish was sufficiently challenging to my ignorance to be interesting. This one was somewhat marred by the fact that someone had written in English translations on every page; but then they were quite crappy translations so it became entertaining to fume at them. As far as actual content, well, if you don't already know and love this book you should, jeez louise, go out and buy a copy.
