I know I keep using this excuse, but it really was a busy weekend. I spent a large chunk of Saturday babysitting children, away from a computer I could use. I may write some later on about how I spent my Sunday, but not right now; also, I wanted to let the Nancy Reagan obits sit for a day.
NYTimes. LAT. WP. Lawrence.
Catching up from the weekend and for the historical record: Pat Conroy. NYT. WP. A/V Club. Charleston Post and Courier.
I’ve read very little of Conroy’s work: The Prince of Tides
in particular always struck me as being chick lit. But somewhere recently (and I wish I could remember where) I read part of his followup to The Great Santini
, The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son
…and I was actually kind of hooked. Maybe I need to give his work a second look.
And I have to confess: I’m a sucker for crap like this
. (See also this
, which I picked up at Half-Price over the weekend, even though I’m a little embarrassed to admit it.)
