Reading Update
By Matt Margolis | January 7, 2008
There’s a been a few changes to my “Currently Reading” list.
First, I’ve put Love in The Time of Cholera on hold for now. The book has been a struggle for me to get through. Perhaps it’s the story… or the fact it’s a translation… I’m not sure. But, I’ve put it on hold in order to read two other books.
The first book I started reading after putting Cholera on hold was I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. I was interested in reading the book after seeing the movie last month. So far, I can say that the book is very different… But I cannot say which one is superior. I will give a full report when I finish the book.
The other book I started was The Book of Other People, a compilation short stories edited by Zadie Smith. I admit one of the main reasons for my getting the book was that Nick Hornby made a contribution to the book, however, I do find the book’s premise intriguing (the contributors were instructed simply to create a character) and expect to enjoy the colleciton in its entirety.
So, that’s what I’m reading at the moment. Perhaps I’ll end up reading more by Richard Matheson, or start reading Zadie Smith.
