Greetings from Beantown
Hi - so I thought I should introduce myself finally! My name's Anne and I'm a law student in Boston. I've been knitting for about three years now (wow, that seems both longer and shorter than I'd expected) and blogging for about six months. I'm currently knitting Clapotis (along with everyone else, it seems!) as well as attempting my first true fair isle project, a Latvian mitten (well, hopefully two), which is really challenging, but really fun, too, now that I've conquered my teeny-tiny DPN phobia.
I've been a reader my whole life, and even during my first year of law school (the second half of which started this week), I've managed to continue reading for pleasure. It's such a great break from the drudgery of reading cases and more cases and oh, hey, how about a few more cases? I love law school, though, which is a bit of a shock to most people, actually.
Anyway, my favorite books of late include The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell, as well as his follow-up, Blink (which actually isn't out yet - I got an advance copy), plus Life of Pi, by Yann Martel, and The Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, by Michael Chabon, which even though I read it about two years ago has really stuck with me. I also really loved Jhumpa Lahiri's recent book, the Namesake. My favorite book of all time (at least so far) is called the Power of One, by an Aussie author named Bryce Courtenay. It's an incredible book, and I've recommended it for years and years without fail.
Anyway, nice to meet you all and I look forward to reading with you!
