Three great finds this week.
A galley of China Miéville's new book, Kraken, came from my friends at Random House. I'm going to start on it the minute I get back from BEA and if I hadn't sworn to myself not to bring any print books with me I would start sooner.
A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole, is one of those American classics I've always meant to read, so I got it from Bookmooch. Jon McGregor's If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things also came via Bookmooch, from Poland; I'm looking forward to both.
I'm going to substitute an Unfinished Friday next week as I'll be away at BEA and all my posts will be done in advance, but I hope you come back next week anyway.

If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable things was a very unusual book - I enjoyed it!
