Profile of Edward P. Jones in NYT
I'm a big fan of Edward P. Jones's short stories. I really look forward to reading his new collection. When? Not sure. But it is definitely high on the list.
One day I really need to count how many books are on the list. Or would that task be completely futile since the list seems to grow daily?
Back to Jones. There's a great profile of him in the NYT. No really, it is good, connecting Jones's hometown, DC, to his writing.
Also read the review of All Aunt Hagar's Children written by Dave Eggers of the new collection.

you know what i do? i put all the books i want to read eventually on my amazon wishlist. that way, they're automatically numbered. when i buy them, whether from amazon or a retail store, i delete them. but that's one easy way to keep track.
on jones: i had a prof last fall who was like... swoony over this cat. seriously. i still have yet to really "get" him, though i'll admit that his characters and their situations do tend to stick with you--like they're extensions of your own memories. thanks for the link. i'll have to check that out.

I use Amazon's Wish list the same way! But I also toss in other non-book items that I want to remember to buy in the future
oh that's a great idea to keep track of all the books I want to read. Thanks, SLB.
