I’ve listened to this song a dozen times but never bothered to listen to the lyrics. (tsk tsk) Perfect for the lovelorn, following Valentine’s Day. Not that I’m lovelorn.
I’ll miss you, LCD Soundsystem!

The Books of 2010
(pic peeled from a holiday envelope from Ash)
At the back of my Moleskine (yes, how non-digital of me), I keep a list of the books I’ve read during the year. As always, the list is short—I’m not a fast reader. Here it is in all it’s brief glory:
Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby (bc)*
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery (bc)
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell
The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck
Travels with Myself and Another: A Memoir by Martha Gellhorn (bc)
Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain
My Life in France by Julia Child
The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet: A Novel by David Mitchell
The Story of a Marriage: A Novel by Andrew Sean Greer
The Help by Kathryn Stockett (bc)
What French Women Know: About Love, Sex, and Other Matters of the Heart and Mind by Debra Olliver
And, likely to be finished in 2010:
Freedom: A Novel by Jonathan Franzen (bc)
My faves? Olive Kitteridge, The Thousand Autumns and Elegance of the Hedgehog. But the others are very much worthwhile—or most of them are, anyway.
