This year, reading has been more escapist than usual. I have favorite fiction authors – Michael Connelly, John Grisham and Scott Turow for police and courtroom procedurals – and recently discovered David Rosenfeld, whose obnoxious criminal defense attorney Andy Carpenter is hilarious. I was so desperate that I tried a Daniele Steele novel. Whew. How has she “sold a billion books,” according to information on the book jacket?
The coffee table book of Bob Dylan’s lyrics was a Christmas present. I can see why he won a Nobel Prize. Among other things, he was composing and recording rap music in the 1960s.
