Bookses

Recently read Interpreter of Maladies, a collection of short stories by Jhumpa Lahiri, which won the 2000 Pulitzer for fiction. Liked it -- one of the stories especially. Sensitive, well-written stuff. Kept thinking that Rebecca would dig it, so Wellers, if you're out there...

Also just finished The Bad Guys Won!, by Jeff Pearlman, which tells the story of the infamous 1986 Mets. This one's not particularly well-written, but the subject is so amusing that it wasn't an obstacle.

Now on to The Hours, by Michael Cunningham. Loved the movie (soundtrack too, for that matter) and the book's on my list, so I'm looking forward to this one.

It is a wonderful soundtrack. What else has he done? It wasn't a familiar name to me prior to "The Hours."
