Honestly, I have not cracked the spine (not literally, of course) of Angels and Ages. I do, however, *love* most anything by Adam Gopnik, so I imagine it will be good. Hmmm...perhaps I should pick up that hummingbird book again too...

Mollie! I'm so glad you've re-joined the LibraryThing world! I bought the hummingbird book on a whim in Memphis (because Megan Marshall had a blurb on the back), and I'm enjoying it. I'm only in the first chapter or two, though. I think it can count as comps-related reading, no? What have you been reading? Did you finish the other Dara Horn book?

Hello! Thank you for adding me to your interesting library list.

Wow, weird! That's a coincidence, except that we both knew that we both have good taste, so I suppose it makes sense.

How is life?
