Literary Item that Makes me Happy
My favorite writer has a new novel out, and I just picked it up...for some reason, I thought it was coming out in November, so it was a real happy surprise to stumble upon it. This is his first "proper" novel in ten years (not counting the wonderful and under-appreciated novella, The Name of the World, of course), so my excitement level is particularly high. If you've never read anything by Johnson, you can really pick up any of them and get one of the best books you've ever read.
