Well, at least in the mind of Scot Lehigh, Boston Globe columnist (and author of the delightful Just East of Nowhere).
In today’s column, he discusses reading habits – including some bad ones (have you ever thrown a book out of a car?) – and his current faves, saying:
“I’m currently making my way through Ann Patchett’s ”Tom Lake,” a story that imparts such an immersive experience in summer stock theater that you feel like a participant. I haven’t had as vivid a vicarious sense of the world of performing since “Hold Me Down,” Clea Simon’s compelling tale of a forty-something woman reliving her days as a young rock star — and unearthing repressed memories as she does.“
What a lovely surprise to stumble on while reading my hometown paper. Thank you, Scot!
What are you all reading?
