Always an invigorating thing after Christmas. I just went out and redeemed a Borders gift card for a few titles I've been meaning to read, among them Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano, so that's what I'm about to start reading once I'm finished with this. I hope it lives up to its reputation.
Re-cap on The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay ... after having let the book sit and percolate through my mind for a few days, I really do think it deserves its reputation. Chabon packed so many ideas into the book, and covered so much ground, that one can't help but be impressed by its ambitions and scope. I would like to go back and read it again, one of these days. And really, isn't that the highest compliment you can pay a book?
