Junk reading in the summer is typical for me, but it's never persisted so long and with so little to counterbalance it. I'm hopeful I can retrieve those marbles that are skittering all over!
Topic: I'm listening to the longest of all Trollope novels, The Way We Live Now, my 22nd Trollope novel. Also reading They Were Divided by Miklós Bánffy, the last of his Transylvania Trilogy. Not vampires.

I have been filling in with a number of
Maigret and
Alleyn detective novels, but I am also still doing the daily
War and Peace. I'm going to try to do two letters a day from Samuel Richardson's
Clarissa next year.
I have just started Elizabeth Strout's Pulitzer winner
Olive Kitteridge. I have some priorities for the fall, very little of which is junk.
