“Philip Half a Life—Darin Strauss The Anthologist—Nicholson Baker The Million Dollar Mermaid—Esther Williams BOOKS READ: Our Mutual Friend—Charles Dickens The Uncoupling—Meg Wolitzer Let the Great World Spin—Colum McCann Half a Life—Darin Strauss The advantages and benefits of writing a monthly column about reading for the Believer are innumerable, if predictable: fame, women (it’s amazing what people will do to get early information about the Boo...ks Bought list), international influence, and so on. But perhaps the biggest perk of all, one that has only emerged slowly, over the years, is this: you can’t read long books. Well, I can’t, anyway. I probably read between two and three hundred pages, I’m guessing, during the average working week, and I have the impression—please correct me if I’m wrong—that if you saw only one book in the Books Read list at the top there, it would be very hard to persuade you to plough through what would, in effect, be a two-thousand-word book review.MoreLessRead More Read Less
