Julien Green
Since my last post, I've read an issue of The Economist, two issues of The New Scientist, three issues of Eclectic Reading, an issue of OK Magazine, and two issues of The New Yorker.
I've also finished reading the three volumes of Julien Green's journals, which were wonderful in every respect. I've now moved on to short stories and novels, and the characters are flat. He is indeed a better diarist than a novelist. I also read a Stephanie Plum novel by Janet Evanovich. I wasn't enthralled. Now I'm reading another murder mystery, using Internet stalking, and that managed to scare me. Can't remember the author off the top of my head.
