The World Beyond Your Head – Matthew Crawford A second readthrough. A different take on how attention screws with production.

Parade and Saving Agnes – Rachel Cusk. Her first and her most recent novels. While they were worth reading, nothing is comparing to her Outline Trilogy.

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone – Benjamin Stevenson. I had a hard time getting past the idea of Australia having a ski resort. Beyond that, a happy little chaotic murder mystery with a family populated by people who have, you guessed it, killed someone.

About This Life – Barry Lopez. I pick up just about every Lopez volume I come across. In college, Lopez visited our campus and talked about his recent travels. What’s there to say? Here is an old man who has been everywhere and is distilling life through the personal lens.
