Another foot of snow? Really? Did I move to New England and no one bothered to tell me?

I must say, though, whoever bought the tiny little Bobcat plows that they're using to plow out the public spaces like the sidewalks around the park and the plaza at the subway station was a fricking genius and deserves a medal. I'd wondered how they were keeping the public walkways so clear.

And I have to admit, the trees in the park this morning were incredibly gorgeous.

Title: Great House
Author: Nicole Krauss
Genre: Contemporary literary fiction
Thingummies: 3

Synopsis: In gorgeous, deeply insightful prose, the author tells the story of four families whose lives each touch upon a specific desk--a New York writer, the husband of a Cambridge writer, a Israeli lawyer with a failed-writer/judge son in London, and a would-be Oxford writer dating the son of a kind of psychotic Israeli antiques dealer--and who each discover that their lives are meaningless and empty and they've totally fucked up the relationships that really mattered to them. Only the desk gets resolution.

Thoughts: So, what did you think? )
