NOW READING:
- The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
- Evening by Susan Minot
But the latter I'm just kind of reading. I'm so greatly fascinated by the preview for the movie, which I have seen two out of two times I have attended the cinema in Harvard Square this week, that I had to wander into the Harvard Coop bookstore there and start reading the book. I've read three chapters of it. I'm calling the movie "the sequel to
The Hours." Joining author Minot in writing the screenplay was none other than
The Hours author Michael Cunningham (my boy!) and the cast is kind of like an
Hours reunion. I'm pretty sure I don't want to buy the book
Evening but I kind of like reading a chapter a day in the Harvard Coop. (Which, I love that bookstore. I so do love my Boston things. My old haunts.)
But I digress, reader, from the tale at hand. Salvatore! Salvatore! What is going on?! You must save yourself!!!
I am starting to get toward the end of
The Name of the Rose, and my goodness. Bernard Guido Inquisitor or whatever his name is is so mean! And I'm getting really sad for Salvatore. But I don't think he can be the murderer, because he's caught now and I think some more people still have to die. We're only on the fifth trumpet. Poor, ugly, picked on Salvatore. As he put it, he "sinned with no malicia." Indeed.
