What I Just Finished Reading: Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson, which was my suggestion for the book club that I'm in. Most of the people in the reading group found the start slow and the plot a bit undirected and the main character kind of without a goal - all of those things felt true to me, but I also didn't mind them and really thought they served the point of the novel. The main character is about 16, after all, in a small town in Canada - his main goals are preserving relationships with the people who love and want to care for him, while realizing that he's pretty helpless to do much to keep them. He's honest and young and traumatized. I'm lining up the next two books in the series.
What I am Currently Reading: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, which feels like if the Ong's Hat conspiracy episode of Decoder Ring was a novel. Very much enjoying it, no idea what's happening next, solid horror and interesting book work.
What I Plan to Read Next: Eve Sedgewick's Epistemology of the Closet and A Psalm for the Wild Built sometime in the next couple weeks.
