About half way through Breaking and Entering.  She has great talent, sentence by sentence, very funny.  But I'm beginning to flag from lack of structure.  Where are you?

After finishing M & D a couple weeks ago, I decided to read some shorter stuff. 

The Quiet American by Graham Greene, I'm sure many of you have read. Saw the movie with Michael Caine and Tarzan (never
can remember that guy's name) last year, and didn't realize it came from this book. Great read.

The Long Fall by Walter Moseley. Detective fiction. Good page turner. I'll read more of his stuff. 

Breaking and Entering by Joy Williams. Anyone familiar with her? Kind of strange and dark, but good.

Slowly reading a book of short stories by Hughes Rudd, because I don't want it to end. Really dark and twisted and excellent.

Then some Borges and Hunter S. Thompson thrown in.

Ascension by Eric Nisenson, about the music of John Coltrane.

Next? Conrad, "The Secret Agent", Alison Lurie, Barbara Kingsolver....suggestions?
