As many of you know, I always have a pile of books next to/under my bed. The pile never gets any smaller since I constantly add to it. I did my best this weekend to whittle away at it. I finished The Glass Castle and Never Let Me Go – both titles I’m anxious to discuss with you!
I also read Calvin Trillin’s About Alice [sigh]. I have to admit I finished that one this morning and was late making the kids lunches for school. For those of you who haven’t read Mr. Trillin’s ode to his late wife, it is a wonderful read. My parents recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary and I can say that my dad loves my mom the way Calvin loved Alice.

I heard Mr. Trillin interviewed on Morning Edition back in January and his tribute to his late wife is sweet, but not sappy. I plan on reading About Alice this summer.
