Reading update: I’m about halfway through R.F. Kuang’s Babel, and I’m happy to say that it is living up to the hype: a wonderful, extremely well-written combination of fantasy and historical fiction that takes on some big subjects. I’m guessing that the second half will be as good as the first. As for future reading, my next four books are all going to be music-related. Looking forward to all of them!


The fact that I only recognize four of the ten musicians at the heart of Kate Molleson’s book tells me I’m going to learn something!
