November seems to be a great month for reading for me, especially when last year's November count is taken into consideration too. Blame it on the change in weather? It only really got wintery-cold this month...
Right Ho, Jeeves, P.G. Wodehouse
Cleopatra's Nose: 39 Varieties of Desire, Judith Thurman
The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
Kitchen, Banana Yoshimoto
The Book of Other People, Zadie Smith, ed.
Staying Alive, Neil Astley, ed. (poetry anthology)
The Accidental Masterpiece: On the Art of Life and Vice Versa, Michael Kimmelman
Proust Was a Neuroscientist, Jonah Lehrer
My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories from Chekhov to Munro, Jeffrey Eugenides, ed.
Wodehouse was a wonderful discovery this month courtesy of a bookish friend. Lighthearted and humorous - I'm looking forward to reading more about my new favorite butler.

Good pick on the Steinbeck. Can't comment on the others since I have no idea who they are. :-)
The Southeast Anchor library and Book Thing are my hotspots, Corey!
