Snow. In April. On the Saturday before Easter. Thus, a good day to curl up and read. Two books completed.
Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson is a serviceable biography of
Margaret Atwood’s Moral Disorder is an odd book. It’s not a novel so much as a collection of interlinked vignettes that add up to a larger story. This is not Atwood’s best work, but she is such a lyrical writer, so deft with the off-hand phrase or passage, that it is a delight to read her even when the sum doesn’t add up to much.
