I am a reader and book evangelist. For many years I have kept a reading journal with little descriptions of the books I read and dates I read them. Kind of a trail of book bread crumbs that chart my interests over a given course of time. This blog gives me a way to continue my journal and share my reading interests with others. My latest adventures in creating, dining, and traveling can be found at my website LindasOtherLife.com

The Dying Animal by Philip Roth
After reading two very long books back to back, I decided to finish off Christmas break with a short one. I had never really read any Philip Roth, and, against my best judgement, I had bought this one with the movie-tie-in cover a while back, wanting to read the book before seeing the movie. It is a very erotic story of 60 plus year old professor who repeatedly falls for young women he teaches. But last woman, Consuela Castillo, is the one who nearly undoes him.
