When the Sacred Gin Mill Closes

Block, Lawrence

Amazon link

Erik and I had been on a contemporary film noir streak when we saw an interview with a favorite actor, and he mentioned his favorite book-- in the noir mode. We bought it and Erik devoured the thing. I started it on a weekend trip, since I couldn't take the thirty pound Sacred Games.

Olive Kitteridge

Strout, Elizabeth

Amazon link
For my running buddies' book club, this month was my pick. It sounded like the least-depressing of Entertainment Weekly's top ten books of 2008.

Pilgrims

Gilbert, Elizabeth

Amazon link

Okay, I admit that I bought this because I loved Eat Pray Love. It was also out on the sale table at the Powell's in the airport. I thought I'd read it in New Zealand and leave it for Julie. Short stories are so nice for traveling, since you don't get too sucked in, and you can start and stop more often.

Well, this one was a little odd. And Julie refused it, even while bemoaning a lack of reading material. I left it at the hostel in Picton.
