Books Reading Today: Lotus, Eaten
Posted by Paul Constant on Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 10:21 AM
And Tatjana Soli reads at Elliott Bay Book Company this afternoon. The Lotus Eaters is a novel set in Vietnam. It takes place during the Vietnam War. I wish this book were not titled The Lotus Eaters. It feels like there have been ninety million books with that title published in the last year alone.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here. And if you're planning on staying in and you're looking for personalized book recommendations, feel free to tell me the books you like and ask me what to read next over at Questionland.

If I see one more book titled "The xxxxx's Daughter" or "The xxxxxxx's Wife," I'm gonna spit some nails.
