Unrelated to my ongoing Lamu story, here are a couple of other things I want to comment on…<\/p>\n
First, Anita Shreve. I’ve just read three of her books, and I’ve decided that she’s my current favourite author. Unlike most books which take a few chapters to really get into, I can get into her books immediately. This does have the unfortunate downside that I get through the books too quickly and then have to go and buy another one. The books I’ve read so far are The Last Time They Met<\/i>, Eden Close<\/i>, and The Weight of Water<\/i>. The Last Time They Met<\/i> was written after The Weight of Water<\/i> and contains some of the same characters, but I’d recommend reading The Last Time They Met<\/i> first as I did, because the twist at the end will be all the more surprising.<\/p>\n
Second, Sixpence None The Richer. I bought their new album last week and it’s fantastic. I’ve been playing it almost non stop since then. It has a lot of really good songs on it, including a cover of Don’t Dream It’s Over<\/i>. One track, Tension Is A Passing Note<\/i> I think has distinctive overtones of Eden Burning, while another track somehow reminds me of Stereophonics, although I’m not sure why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
