February Catalog

School and a new job have been devouring my free time at an exasperating rate. I always have to read something, but my list this month is a lot shorter.

I found Carson McCullers’s first novel, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, slightly battered and buried in the bargain bin. It was beautiful and sad. I’ve never read anything by McCuller’s before, but her praises are well deserved.

I am also halfway through a very different novel I got from my Dad, The Aquitane Progression by Robert Ludlum. He likes to read these espionage-action novels, and I thought I’d give it a try. The military jargon is a bit of a tangle, but the descriptions of Europe and the spy drama keep it interesting.
