I like my new, scuffier (and much more affordable!) Brooklyn neighborhood even more, but I'm glad the brownstones are still just a short walk away.<BR/><BR/>I hope you'll be back here one of these days; I have hopes of being in London again before another year has passed.kitabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304468949726537104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-49959618151082289012008-07-12T16:56:00.000+01:002008-07-12T16:56:00.000+01:00Jean, oddly enough, at the moment I'm reading her ...Jean, oddly enough, at the moment I'm reading her novel "What I Loved" which I picked up at a local charity fair for 50p.<BR/>It's not one of those books I have to finish in one sitting, refusing all interruptions, but I may yet get hooked on it. So far, my crticism might be that she brings in too many extraneous details which tend to mke my attention wander away. Like a hyper-realist painting.<BR/><BR/>I've never read anything by her before but I love her husband Paul Auster's graphic novel "City of Glass". (I know this is not relevant to commenting on her writing).<BR/><BR/>I love your pics of the Brooklyn brownstones. Look just like the one where I stayed, a few streets away!Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-32914756882556070992008-07-12T09:18:00.000+01:002008-07-12T09:18:00.000+01:00What a lovely looking street! and I agree about fi...What a lovely looking street! and I agree about fiction - I don't like vicarious emotion, or the feeling of being manipulated excessively. Something contemplative and gentle is exactly what I need right now.litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-9294057905981405102008-07-12T04:55:00.000+01:002008-07-12T04:55:00.000+01:00(o)(o)Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523194846272870013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-17305930216280096582008-07-11T23:11:00.000+01:002008-07-11T23:11:00.000+01:00mmm.mmm.Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406446365589143789.post-47928328507565966602008-07-11T21:21:00.000+01:002008-07-11T21:21:00.000+01:00Lovely brownstones indeed, I think I could enjoy t...Lovely brownstones indeed, I think I could enjoy that!
