A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

CREATIONISTS - E L Doctorow
This is a collection of essays on authors and their works.
He covers Poe, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, a bit of the Bible, Mark Twain and many others.
All the essays are thought provoking, entertaining and he doesn't really rate E A Poe- His overwrought style is so filled with an essayist's rhetorical vines and brambles that you have to slash and hack if you're to make your way through the story.
A good collection.
