For the thrilling conclusion

Recap day!

So, my recap this week goes: Africa, socially acceptable spousal abuse, colonization, suicide, boring description, transgressive engagements, society triangles, possible lesbianism.

It's fun to read two books in one week and compare them, especially when they're ridiculously different. Just wait for The Jungle and Finnegans Wake. Won't that be fun?

I made an orzo-based version of parmesan risotto this week to go with chicken with black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and artichoke hearts. It wasn't new, but it was delicious. I highly recommend it. No other news. More books next week. (Well, probably just the one, actually; it's pretty long.)
