I'm sleeping in a bit today after a long day yesterday; we went down to visit some friends on Cape Cod and spent the day eating and talking and generally having a good time. Our hosts, John and Kristen, have a beautiful home and we had a great time with them and some other friends too. There was a book sale at the local library and John and Kristen had the really nice idea of buying books for everyone as party favors- I was lucky enough to snag Summer Lightning, by P.G. Wodehouse, and my husband took home a volume of Moliere's plays. Not bad! If you've never read Wodehouse I highly recommend his light but artful English country-house humor.
Also in the reading pile-
- American Shaolin, a memoir by Matthew Polly about his stay in China learning kungfu at the legendary Shaolin temple,
- Pravda, Booker-nominated fiction by Edward Docx- a nice switch back to serious fiction after the lighter stuff I've been reading lately, and
- Such a Pretty Fat, Jen Lancaster's new memoir.
Between that and missing David Sedaris when he came to town I'm beginning to think I'm jinxed.
I don't know what's in store for today besides being very, very lazy. We'll see!

Oh a booksale for party favours! That's my idea of a great time! Too bad about missing the authors :( - better luck next time!
... my husband took home a volume of Moliere's plays.
My favorite Moliere is Le Tartuffe. It is absolutely hilarious! Is his volume translated or in the original French?
When I saw David Sedaris a few weeks ago Jen was scheduled about 5 days later. It sounds like she's following him around the country to Borders stores! I wish I had friends that gave out books as party favors, that's awesome!
I haven't read Wodehouse, thanks for the recommendation!
