I’m leaving for my trip as soon as I finish and rinse this cup of coffee, but here are the three books I’ve packed for my trip:
The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith. This is very very good, but I’m having a hard time stealing reading time for it.
The Fox by Sherwood Smith. I stopped reading this ages ago because of the craziness of getting an agent. It’s past time I dove back in.
Sacred by Dennis Lehane. Someone I’ve wanted to read for a long time.
I won’t have time to read all three, but still: books!
I hated the film of The Talented Mr. Ripley, it’s ruined me on the book. I’ll be interested in what you think. Did you see the film?
I never saw the film, but the funny thing is that it was playing on the Direct TV during my flight. I turned the channel and heard Matt Damon deliver the line I had just read in the book. Weird.
As for the book, I feel like it’s treading water at the moment.
