What are you reading this week of March 13, 2016? [View all]

Gah, so what time IS it, anyway? My clock may have moved ahead but my brain is just not getting with the program. I really hate this day.

I should have just stayed in bed and continued reading Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding, the last book in my collection of hers. Another story of a young girl in the deep South, revealing the anguish of her adolescence and isolation. There are some fun moments but mostly it's just very sad.

What new readings have you all sprung into now?
