Serial Sequels

There is a lingering burn to Tender Is The Night. Normally I would have finished it Thursday, instead a nagging congestion has clipped my wings and the novel wasn't completed until Saturday afternoon. I acquired a number of books yesterday including Gramsci Selections From The Prison Notebooks, Mencken's Chrestomathy and Borges' Collected Non-Fictions. I have to admit that my purpose is drifting towards both John Banville-as-Benjamin Black and Jonathan Coe. I picked up both Silver Swan and the Closed Circle and already owning Christine Falls and The Rotters' Club I think I'll proceed until being distracted elsewhere.
