- I am about 85% through The Selected Letters of Willa Cather, which I am reading in DTB. I've been reading this slowly since the end of July and it will almost certainly be my top book of the year, or in the top five. I've even managed to put a few re-reads of Cather's work into my audiobook rotation as I've gone along the different eras of her life.
- Inspired by my Cather reading, I am listening to Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis on my commutes. Cather had a brisk correspondence with Lewis and I've not read him in recent memory.
- I've finished both books 10 and 11 of Anthony Powell's roman-fleuve A Dance to the Music of Time. I am saving the last volume for November or December. I really enjoyed 7,8, and 9, which were the war years. It has had a bit of a drop of for me in 10 and 11, so I am giving the last volume a little space to breathe.
- I am also doing my first buddy read over at StoryGraph for R.F. Kuang's Babel: An Arcane History. If anyone wants to join, send me a message!
