Dinner reading

Last night Lin was too busy for dinner. She had been in California for the weekend and on Monday she went from the airport straight to work. I called Cherry to see if she was interested but she was rushing to get a FedEx package out. I had a hankering for curry chicken and so walked to Chinatown and ate at a Vietnamese restaurant. The place I wanted to go, just behind the old Music Palace, was closing.

When I returned home, I sank into Marilynne Robinson's Gilead. Nothing much seems to happen but the voice is so compelling and the descriptions so particular that I found myself unable to put it down. If I didn't have to get up this morning I would have been up all night. Posted by eku at March 16, 2005 9:36 AM
