On Sunday I finally started The Golem and the Jinni, by Helen Wecker, a very popular book that's been outstanding in my TBR pile for a while. I'm really liking it. It's about two magical creatures who come to life in early 20th century New York City. I'm only about 70 pages into this 500-odd page book but I can already see why it's done so well.

On my nightstand now is Roz Chast's Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, also a tough read but less so than the aforementioned audio memoir. I love her work.
At the gym I'm about halfway through Elif Batuman's academic memoir, The Possessed, which is fun, and features cover art by Roz Chast, so there's that.

Its tough to try to finish a book you are disinterested in.
