i liked prague, definitely a lighter read than i usually go for. i kinda forgot about it tho, sounds like i should check some of these other titles out.

i'm enjoying 'the song is you' so far, despite my misgivings.

i'm guessing arthur phillips is playing games here, and his next book is going to be fakespeare?

it's relatively amazing to me how phillips can regularly pick topics/genres that i would otherwise never seek out & yet i enjoy them.
memoir & coming-of-age mixed w/ fakespeare? ugh right, but im 100+ pgs in and into it

suddenly just remembered this guy and wondered where he's been ... 7 years since his last book

Afaik he's been writing for tv (like that Bloodline show), and working on adaptations of his novels for Hollywood, ie making that real money.

After finishing The King at the Edge of the World I thought I could stand to read some more by this guy, I guess I'll pick up The Egyptologist next.
