i'm enjoying the david lodge book i'm reading. its his last book i think. about going deaf. its interesting. its not always the most amazing writing - its written mostly as diary entries - but the details are good. especially the going deaf part. the main character goes to visit his father in London and you really are there. its good. an elderly man living alone in a decaying home. you can smell it and feel it. i've never read any books of his after all these years. i've carted around paperbacks from home to home and just never gotten to them.

John McPhee was everything I could want in a non-fiction writer: deeply curious, careful with his facts, humane, and thoughtful. Just as importantly, he trusted his readers were the same. His prose reflects it.
