On Beauty and Being Wrong



Loving Zadie Smith right now. I really liked White Teeth but this was so touching, so poignant it brought me to tears. She weaves so much truth and beauty all about and together into a thick, heaping mass of humanity. The breakdown of relationships is heartbreaking and yet, something in the reader is somehow rebuilt. She gives us so much to contemplate: underlying politics of class and race, making the macro micro and vice versa.  Awaiting the moment when i pick up the next Zadie Smith novel.

Resolutions


As January comes to a close I am thinking about the goals I've set for this year. I don't do resolutions anymore since the one I set for 2008 didn't pan out (flossing). Still haven't mastered that one yet and my dentist keeps sending me cheery reminders to make an appointment. So I'll stick to goal setting and to-do lists and leave the resolutions out of it.
One of the things I want to do in 2009 is to make a list of all of the books I read and each year challenge myself to Read More Books.
Read any good books lately? I'm up for suggestions.
