In the news

The Chicago Tribune's book blog, Printer's Row, has a section called "The Signature Club", in which readers "review" a book by responding to a set group of questions. They posted on LibraryThing's Chicagoans group asking for reviewers. I volunteered, and within a day or so received a copy of Shira Nayman's new book, The Listener. Here's what I said about it (complete with picture!).

(Just so you don't think I throw out sentences at random, the question for one answer - "Anyone with an interest in interest and the human mind, and who doesn’t look only for entertainment in their reading, but likes to be challenged." was dropped. That's a response to "Who should read this book?")

A second book, Paolo Giordano's The Solitude of Prime Numbers, was in my mailbox a couple of days ago!
