I just finished White Noise and am moving on to Babel. Not sure White Noise was worth all the time invested – the whole thing seemed very tongue in cheek. I did relate to a lot of the post-disaster situation, though. Anyone else read that one?
I really love Babel. It pains me that my daughter won’t watch it, I know she’d find it interesting. She refuses to read my Moth books too. Stubborn, resists what I want her to do.
When she was a teen she read a lot but was refusing to read The Catcher in the Rye I’d bought her. I think it was because the cover is very plain, nothing enticing.
Finally she read it and loved it.

Currently:
‘Whose Names Are Unknown’ by Sanora Babb. Dust Bowl/ Steinbeck/Grapes of Wrath Controversy.
I just finished catching up on the November 25 New Yorker.
‘Lake Tahoe’s Bear Boom’ was quite informational for me, as living in the increasing wildlifeand human conflicts, of the Rocky Mountain west.
Speaking of bears…‘The Bear’ by Andrew Krivak remains my #1 read of all time. This is not about the culinary world.

I picked up two books from the library yesterday. Louise Penny’s Grey Wolf and Southern Man by Greg Iles. I was astounded to find that the Iles book is 967 pages of small print. 
I hope nobody else reserves it because there is no way I can finish it by it’s due date.

I really enjoyed this article because there’s a lot of “grandma foods” I eat these days that I never would have imagined myself eating when I was a young whippersnapper.
I’m still not “comfortable” starting a thread/making a post here on my own, though. Thank you in advance for understanding/accepting that.

For me, that never seems to work with gift links. I too have tried to add the “regular” link for the preview, but without success. Are you starting with the app or NYT online? I wonder if that makes a difference.
