UPDATED: Check this out if you are planning to travel abroad to see soccer games.
All right, so I haven't had a chance to write reviews really (or about Superliga, sigh) but I have picked up a new load of books and I'll list them and then get to writing about them at some point, shortly:
Michael Chabon: Maps and Legends (nf collection)
Jesse Ball: Samedi the Deafness
Chris Marker: La Jetee
Rebecca Barry: Later, At the Bar (ss collection)
Ha Jin: Crazed
Ma Jian: Beijing Coma
Marco Onarato: Camorra (released here as "Gomorrah")
Simenon's "Trois chambres a Manhattan" is awesome.
Culpepper's "Bloody Confused" is the first book in ages I got halfway through and chucked. Fucking awful.
Would you like to join the Jamie Trecker Book Club? Simply tell me what you are reading and we can trade titles. I usually donate (most of) my hardcover books after reading to the Eunice Fletcher Memorial Library (a small-town library in my Mum's town of Hampton, CT) but if any one is up for a swap, let me know
