Esther Stories - Peter Orner
Reading now:
You Think It, I'll Say It - Curtis Sittenfeld
I wonder if Curtis Sittenfeld is still living in St. Louis?We talked about her up a page or two, her prep school novel. I really liked it. I am not read the other prep school novels I’ve lined up but I will get to them eventually.
I am skimming Pediatric Ethics and A Fresh Look at Judging Floral Designs.
