Probably not, but I guess I get to decide the rules. So, just for today, I'm blogging books.
I was at the library to tutor and decided to pick up a few books for the week. I went with casual fiction, most of which I've been meaning to read for years.
- Salman Rushdie's Shalimar the Clown
- Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club
- Toni Morrison's Jazz
- John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men
- Brian Selznick's The Invention of Huge Cabret
Today's book is . . .
Brian Selznick's The Invention of Huge Cabret (2007)
Just started, but enjoyed it. A radical concept that forces the reader to slow down. The images give more detail, the sketches have fine nuances. He even gives a strong sense of motion by zooming in from one page to the next. Then, there's the pages of words . . . well-written and engaging.
