Who Are Your New Books And Novels As “Friends”?
I remarked recently that I needed a new novel so that I could spend 15-30 minutes a day with it for a couple of weeks and “make a new friend.” There have been a number of authors / books like that over the years. Almost all of Pat Conroy’s novels. Tom Wolfe and John Irving.
Who are your friends? Don’t be shy. Literature / fiction is increasingly difficult with which to make acquaintance. Tell us by sending me an email describing your new and wonderful relationships.
Among the suggestions with which I most resonate are: The Life Of Pi . . . and Kite Runner . . . and The Archivist which, according to a fellow SH alumnus, “If you are the sort of person who always dwells in or longs for a New York City state of mind, then you’ll love this multi-layered inter-personal and intra-personal journey through Manhattan that covers over three decades of the characters’ lives.”
Life imitates art, and art imitates life. Do you have any new friends who are “novels” who can keep you entertained for the next few weeks? Please share!!
