Another gorgeous afternoon. And pretty soon it’ll be summer 🙂
Just back from the City, the afternoon literary salon at Bayanihan Center where, halfway through Lolan Sevilla’s reading, a very large group of students (from Stanford, someone said) shuffled in. It was a nice, laid back crowd, though everyone seemed too shy to ask questions. Stole away with a bag of Dandy’s Shrimp Chips, and munched it in the car all the way home.
Here’s a list of books I am interested in reading (after perusing the Mar. 25, 2007 issue of The New York Times Book Review):
