Reading weather

 

 

The early mornings are suddenly so dark and chilly, there's not much reason anymore to jump out of bed. I woke up too early today, turned up the furnace and listened to the Ezra Klein Show podcast, a long and interesting interview with the author Richard Powers. 

His new book is called "Bewilderment." His last novel, "The Overstory" won the Pulitzer Prize. Many readers described it as life changing, in particular, a completely new way to view trees and the natural world.

Two other excellent authors also have books just coming out:  Jonathan Franzen's "Crossroads," and the long-anticipated third novel by Amor Towles called "The Lincoln Highway." Lots to look forward to in the reading department this fall.
