Notes from the Deckle Edge

Another book list

I'll be painting today but just wanted to recall my most recent reading list.  Perhaps you can find something you would be interested in.  So let's start with one of my fave writers Christopher Moore.  I started Noir because, frankly, I was in the mood for Moore.  I can, as usual, recommend.  If you like Humphrey Bogart movies, you'll be entertained by this book.  I can recommend two books by Susan Vreeland, the first being Lisette's List and the second Luncheon at the Boating Party.  Both are novels, one based on the famous painting and the other uses WWII as the background of art discovery.  I enjoyed them both.   I can recommend The Last One by Brian King.  This book is a mystery about the last painting by Vincent Van Gogh - and I do love a mystery.  The Shallows is another murder mystery by Matt Goldman.  I have fallen for this series hard and as soon as a new book in the series is released, I pick it up.  The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick was enjoyable, but I got interrupted too many times and will probably re-read.  Highly recommend Clear Seeing Place by Brian Rutenburg.  Not only was it interesting it made me laugh too.  But I have saved a special one for the end.  This article in the New Yorker magazine by Malcolm Gladwell from 2008 is a must read in my opinion.  It is titled Late Bloomers:  Why do we equate genius with precocity?  Here is the link .  So just read it.  Back to my brushes.
