Three new novels. Hazel read them so you don't have to read all three.
Book 1
Whistler
Ann Patchett
READ IT
A chance meeting at the Met, and the past walks back in. Quiet, beautifully written, and very Patchett.
Book 2
Flesh
David Szalay
FOR SOME
A man drifts, nearly wordless, from a council flat to ruin. Brilliant in places, bleak almost everywhere. You'll either admire it or want to get away from it.
Book 3
The Secret of Secrets
Dan Brown
SKIP IT
Langdon runs through another museum. The puzzles turn; the sentences never do. Life is short.
Now tell me what you’re reading. Have you read any of these? Or something better? Bring it to the Reading Room.
