What are you reading?

Over the weekend I finished reading Clock Dance, Ann Tyler’s new book. Although the book jacket proclaims that she is “at the height of her powers,” she is not. It was very thin, and it made me sad remembering her earlier books which were favorites of mine.
That said, however, the book is not without merit, and is still a lot better than many books published these days and touted as great works of art.
Anyway, I went back to my Ann Tyler shelf and pulled out Saint Maybe from 1991. I am enjoying it a lot.
I am also reading When You and I Were Young, Whitefish, a memoir by Dorothy M. Johnson, who you may recall was a writer mostly known for her western fiction. She wrote the short stories that became the movies The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Hanging Tree and A Man Called Horse. She was quite a gal.
