I enjoyed everything I read in January, and came close to actually meeting my somewhat intense goal. Here’s a list of what found a place next to my bed (or in my bookbag):
Kelli Russell Agodon, Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room
Marian Aitches, Fishing for Light
Umberto Eco, Confessions of a Young Novelist
Dave Eggers, ed. The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2011
Carolyn Forche, Blue Hour
Patrick Suskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Tin House 12.4 (Started, but not finished. And yes, that is the summer reading issue from 2011. I’m a little behind in my literary journals…)
Debra L. Winegarten, There’s Jews in Texas?
