Barnes & Noble
Went to barnes & noble earlier and purchased a couple of things using the giftcard nana had given me as an early hannukah present. Brother's birthday is on saturday so I bought him a book to go along with the classic punk compilation I had gotten him. Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk In The Nation's Capital. For myself,I purchased Jeanette Winterson's novel Lighthousekeeping.

isn't it kind of regifting if you use your present to buy somebody else's? *pondering look*

Oh- are you a fan of hers?
I read Lighthousekeeping recently- found it in a charity shop.
I really do like her writing quite a lot. Unfortunately she says lots of unforgivably stupid things in interviews and columns, but she is a bloody great writer. My admiration is one part old liferaft- the sad and solitary reading and re-reading of 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit' as an adolescent (first lesbian book I could get my hands on- we had it at home because mum read it for bookclub), another part a slightly cliche fondness (love to be honest) of vaguely feminist inflected magical realism.
Have you read 'The Stone Gods'?

The only other, Winterston novel, I have read thus far is OANTOF, which I enjoyed. I gave it to my mother to read she said she thought it was "interesting" and asked me once or twice, why I had given to her.

It was only when I reread it
It was only when I reread it the other day that I remembered- maybe realised- how funny OANTOF was. I do recommend The Stone Gods though, I think it's one of her strongest novels. Less... cloying, maybe we'll say, than some of her others.
Tell me what you make of Lighthousekeeping, when you're done with it. (It's a quick read)
