SOME/THING(S) BORROWED

I took these books from your shelf, twin:

• "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell. I always meant to read this. But I read "Freakanomics" and that put me off pop-economics for a very long time.
• "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov. Actually, this book is mine. I'm returning it to myself.
• "A Moveable Feast" by Ernest Hemingway. I should read the book in which your favorite quote comes in.
• "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Murier. I always thought this was a Danielle Steele novel because of the cover. But I saw this really old lady at the Oakland Airport reading it, and talking with another woman about how good this novel is. What a deceiving cover!

I'm reading "Brick Lane" by Monica Ali right now (I borrowed this from Sushma); it's good, I guess. I have a bad habit of comparing everything to "The God of Small Things" because I feel like everyone is trying to be like Arundhati Roy, which is ridiculous. But really, when I read "White Teeth" by Zadie Smith, I kept thinking, "oooh, I bet she just read Roy." Actually, my books is a little boring right now because the prose is wearing me out. I haven't gotten to the affair yet! Sigh. I just want someone else's drama! :)
