I actually enjoyed that more than I expected. One of the few music biographies I've read where I came away thinking I'd actually happily spend time with the person.

Karel Capek's Andrias Scheuchzeri.
It starts as an adventure book, turns into a selection of newspaper clips about salamanders discovered by the captain of the first part, and evolves into an invasion due to greed... I nearly put it away but ended up liking it. Karel Capek brought the word robot in the late 1920's in a play where Man creates robots, over and over, and robots discover that Man is quite useless and give him the push. |

New Susanna Clarke boom — first in like 16 years or something — and it’s short so I’m savoring it and reading like 2 pages a day.

Looking forward to reading Ellroy's This Storm.
I started it but stopped, to freshen my memory by reading again Perfidia (Ellroy came to Paris for a lecture in a nice theatre, after which he signed some of his books, including the copy I handed him - he asked me what my nationality was as it was the English text. I noticed a weird smile on his face when I said I was French). |
