Recent Reads

Here’s what I have been reading of late.

First, an allegorical tale, Life of Pi. I’m uncomfortable with allegories, because I’m not used to picking out literary devices. I loved this, but I don’t quite understand it. Has anyone else read it? Care to discuss it?

I reference Moneyball in my sideblog. But this is definitely worth the read.

What have other people been reading? Can anyone give me some suggestions for after I catch up with my New Yorkers? I’m thinking of Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek or Christopher Moore’s Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal. But I’m open to other suggestions too!

    If you haven’t yet, read John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany. A really good read, with some funny Episcopal moments.
