I've spend the last 10 days painting a new house and moving, so there is little to report here except what I just finished and what I'm starting. Chabon's Yiddish Policemen's Union was compelling as speculative fiction (what if, as was actually suggested in 1948, Jews were given a temporary homeland in Alaska) and adequate as a thriller/mystery. I've been led to believe that I should read The Final Solution next to get a better glimpse into his abilities in the mystery genre.
I'm leaving for Ohio and Virginia on Thursday. The book that I'll lug with me and have no time to read is Night Train to Lisbon, by Pascal Mercier.
Peace
