Finished _Everyman_ by Philip Roth last night. Picked up _The Collected
Poems of Theodore Roethke_ (Anchor Books, 1991) this morning.
Thanks to Eric for reminding me of Theodore Roethke, Seattle's finest
poet until the advent of Mike Geary. I used to admire the
too-often-maligned Roethke a great deal, and probably would again if I
read or reread some of his poems. I lost my hard-bound copy of his works
in the Great Flood of 1996.
I'm now reading The Crossing, by Cormac McCarthy because I assigned it
to my class as an antidote to Martha Nussbaum's effusions about Henry
James as an important moral philosopher.
If I had the money I'd buy Terror and Consent, by Niall Ferguson, but
mostly I read non-taxing stuff like Inspector Wallander mysteries.'
