PDX -> SFO is a short enough flight that I only read two books over the weekend.

I wasn't expecting Lisa Goldstein's The Red Magician to be a Holocaust book, but it was, and a good one.

I started Iain Sinclair's Lights Out for the Territory but couldn't get into it and put it down. I ended up reading Geraldine Brooks's Nine Parts of Desire instead. It's a quite good look at the current role of women in the Muslim middle east.

Nine Parts of Desire was one of my random SF bookstore purchases. The rest of which I'll post about this evening, along with my Powells Tent Sale purchases from lunch today. Anyone want to bet I don't make it back before the tent sale ends Thursday night? ;)
