It’s funny you mention Chabon, because Kavalier and Clay (about which you are absolutely right, I adored it!) is also sitting on my bedside table, just a few pages into being reread. Yiddish Policeman’s Union is #1 on my fiction wishlist. I can curl up into his prose for hours.I agree that budgeting time is the key, and when I decide I do want to be reading more books, I’ll make a concerted effort to do that, as you describe. I’m not really bemoaning the fact that I’m not; it just occurred to me to wonder why exactly my voracious consumption of books has eased off (for now). |
