Recent books read

**I read constantly. Some ideas come from friends and are related to some project or other. Some come from reviews in NYT and NYRB. I love a good long book because it saves me the hassle of finding another book. But sometimes there are several books I'm eager to read but am stuck on a long one (embarrassment of riches).
