4:00 PM Literature

I continue to read "State of Wonder". I am a little disappointed with this novel. It does not have the impact that her earlier novel, "Bel Canto", had. The yarn itself seems a little far fetched to me.

My order of 4 books from amazon.ca arrived as expected. Here are the titles:

• "The Adolescent" by Fyodor Dostoevsky
• "The Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoevsky
• "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn
• "In the First Circle" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

Dostoevsky is one of my favorite authors, Solzhenitsyn is a name I am familiar with but have never read. I am looking forward to all four books.

I have another order for 3 more books on the way. None of these books are available as ebooks, at least as far as I know.
