November 2023 Books and Reading Notes

Not much reading this month, as National Novel Writing Month took all of my time and brain space. I started reading Pachinko, but only made it through a couple of hundred pages before the end of the month. And next month is Dostoevsky December, so I will be burying myself in a work of classic Russian literature.

I picked up some new reading material in November, thanks to a visit to the 2023 Grand Rapids ComicCon, and also to Jason of Lakeshore Literary for his gift of the most recent issues of The Lakeshore Review.
