| A Haitian grammar and an intriguing 1978 National Book Award winner |
Made a trip to McKay's for the first time in a few weeks earlier today (even though once I got there, I forgot the original reason for going, which was to find some books for one of my aunts – oops!). Didn't buy much, in part because I wasn't for sure how much store credit I was going to receive for the 21 books I took in to be traded, not to mention buying a $27 new book, but there are some promising books here, including Walter Wangerin Jr.'s The Book of the Dun Cow.

| The Walker book is the one new book I purchased today. Reading the Høeg at some point because I've heard positive things about him. |
 |
| Filling in the gaps in my reading of Onetti and Monterroso. |
 |
| I'll read this Croatian poetry/essay book once I have learned enough Serbian to be reading fluent. It might sound strange, but the two languages are about as different as North American and UK English, from what I can tell. And of course, more Spanish poetry for me to explore. |

I read The Age of Miracles. It had a lot of emotional resonance, but felt it was missing something in regards to the greater story going on in the world.
The blurb intrigued me enough to take a chance, considering I had more than enough store credit to pay for it. I'll keep that in mind, though.
Pfft. The Høeg is better in the original Danish...
If you say so... ;)
