In case you're waiting with bated breath, the library tells me that my book is in transit at the moment. It got returned, at least, but my guess is that I won't have it and also time to read it until Monday.

Instead, I can tell you what else I've read in the last week or so. I just finished a book called Somebody's Daughter, which was about a Korean adoptee from Minnesota returning to Korea to go to a language school there. She flunked out of college at the U of M in Duluth, and was, in general, a rather unsympathetic narrator. She came across as whiny and snotty, unfortunately, as well as generally standoffish about Korean culture and food, so I wasn't that invested in her discovery of her birth mother. The parts about Korean culture and food turned out to be far more entertaining than the actual narrative. Also, the author was one of those writers who thinks that describing gross stuff makes her gritty and realistic. Using the word shit doesn't make you gritty and realistic; it makes you obnoxious. Pearls of wisdom here, readers, from me to you.

More of other stuff I've been reading tomorrow.
