Tipped toward pontificating ... must find way back to book world ...
Ah. There. Here I am.
It's been a while since I've had that ooh yeah this is the stuff feeling but the book I'm currently reading, The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich, is giving it to me. What a writer she is. It's funny, I haven't read one of Ms. Erdrich's novels in some time and I have no idea why. I read her first few novels and loved them and then, what, I lost track of her? Forgot about her? Who knows but thank heaven I've found her again. This is just what I love when I love fiction: stories that are engaged with the real world, told with a language of beauty and precision. I feel like I've come home.
