a shelter care home for old people + somewhat sick people - basically all ambulatory + trained + all I'm a social rehabilitation worker + seriously there is some challenge there. I'm wondering what to read. I was thinking tonight that there is so little good prose. Maybe it's my fault - I've taken to reading junk in the lat few years. Novels in Cosmopolition (1 or 2 good ones out of 15 waded through) Whats' around in the way of novels - is it that I want old-fashioned language? Bigger words? The books seem so limited as to language - almost magazine English. Or else they fool around with it - I love Kerovac. Of course I must realize that I've Actually read some best sellers - something I gigure if I'm going to any writing, I'd better read more good stuff + lay off the junk! Do you have any suggestions of fairly recent books?
