I just got this review from the New York Times in my inbox, and I think I will try to check this book out at some point - although hopefully after it's in the library! I am worried I have some sort of weird depression that manifests itself through compulsive book buying. I picked up a book off the table in front of the Harvard Bookstore on my way to class yesterday, even though I have a mountain of books at home, and haven't even gotten Her Fearful Symmetry
out of the bag yet. And I'm not even sure what the book's about - I just saw Newfoundland in the inside front cover, and I liked the cover, and it was under $4 so I bought it, and then tried to justify it to myself. Oh, well - cheaper than two cups of coffee, and at least I put up a new bookshelf in the apartment the other day. But I am not allowed to buy ANY new books until either I finish all the unread ones I have in my possession at the moment, or one I've really been waiting for comes out. Like the Ariana Franklin
. Whichever happens first.
