Literary Pursuits
Jonathan Lethem's new novel, Fortress of Solitude, is receiving plenty of critical attention lately. I always meant to check out some of his earlier science fiction, but just never got around to it. I'll probably pick this up as I'm a sucker for sprawling, coming-of-age sagas. I try not to listen to the critics when deciding what books to purchase (I refuse to read The Lovely Bones for at least another year) but this one intrigues me.
And yes, I'm still plugging away at my own book. A little under 10,000 words at last count. I'd like to be at the halfway point by year's end.

can't wait to read "fortress." I would highly recommend lethem's "motherless brooklyn"; not a sci-fi tale, but damn good reading. and as someone who would tend to avoid an oprah recommendation like the plague, will still also recommend "lovely bones" despite the critical acclaim. how's your comic going?
