The Year of the Book. Man, I read some awesome books this year. My goal is to post and even write about some of them as we move full steam ahead towards the end of 2011. I have chosen this goal for many reasons: Mostly, I am proud of myself for taking the time to read so many. Also, I am pretty sure I will soon buy an iPad, and the way I read might change forever.
This book was a Christmas present to myself. I was taken with the main character, learned a lot about the art world, and, of course, was deeply moved by Steve Martin’s grace and innate ability to breathe so many layers into the simplest moment.
