Sunday's the best day to read
A colleague said once that she couldn't read on a bus that was only going to be traveling for twenty minutes; she needed more time. Our weekends are now as busy as our weekdays, but, if you get up early enough, you can have time for reading. I am reading Turgenev's "First Love" before I sleep and it is luminous. Unlike Alcott, it is filled with light. I guess that's the thing about Prose's list: it includes all of life, children's books too. Which I usually like. Prose wrote a book for children that I like, for example. What are you reading?
