My Birthday Haul

Eight books for age 4+4

  • Opus, Satoshi Kon
  • Boring Postcards USA, Martin Parr
  • World Atlas of Cheese, Nancy Eekhof-Stork
  • 99 Variations on a Proof, Philip Ordlin (the last two were recommendations from post.news over the past few months)

Not shown:

  1. In the West, Avedon, a big birthday splurge (let’s hope the “cheap” $100 copy from Amazon isn’t totally beat up when it arrives)
  2. How to Say Goodbye, Wendy MacNaughtonThe preorder was just announced. Unfortunately this subject will be all too relevant as I cross through my mid 40’s.
  3. Absolutely on Music, Murakami & Ozawa
  4. I Think, Therefore I Draw, Cathcart & Klein (the last two were lucky library finds from yesterday’s excursion).
