I just started a wild 1889 novel called THREE MEN IN A BOAT — it felt like it could've been written yesterday because the first few pages are about how whenever he reads the symptoms of a disease he decides "I have that" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Men_in_a_Boat

I also just started Iain McGilchrist’s THE MATTER WITH THINGS. It's massive, probably 1400 pages and will take me all summer. But I loved THE MASTER AND HIS EMISSARY and McGilchrist writes so clearly, I'm strapped in: https://channelmcgilchrist.com/the-matter-with-things/

I'm off to the bookstore today to pick up two books:

Dan Chaon's new novel: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250175229/sleepwalk

and Jody Rosen's new book about bicycles: https://www.jody-rosen.com/two-wheels-good
