It's Monday. What Are You Reading?

I finished several of the books that I was reading last week: Cloud of Ink, L.S. Klatt (poetry); The Art of Spiritual Writing: How to Craft Prose That Engages and Inspires Your Readers, Vinita Hampton Wright; and The Visionist, Rachel Urquhart (novel). I gave up on Table Manners, by Mia King. It's fine beach-type reading, but it was a little to light for me. I'm still working on the longer, heavier books, most of which I've been working on all summer:

1. Paper Dreams: Writers and Editors on the American Literary Magazine, edited by Travis Kurowski
2. Holding On Upside Down: The Life and Work of Marianne Moore, Linda Leavell
3. Slouching Towards Bethlehem, Joan Didion (essays)
4. Marianne Moore: Complete Poems

And then, I've added a new novel, The Scenic Route, by Binnie Kirshenbaum, and a new book of contemporary poetry, Large White House Speaking, by Mark Irwin.
