Just finished reading Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson. A very enjoyable tale of hackers and genies in an unnamed Middle Eastern emirate.
I went to see Canstruction at the World Financial Center Winter Garden Atrium today. Here are some more photos.
I just finished reading Imagined London: A Tour of the World's Greatest Fictional City by Anna Quindlen. Author Quindlen has always been fascinated by the city of London, which she was intimately familiar with through reading classics set in London. Yet, in 1995, until she was 43 she had not been there. When she finally went to London, she said, "it felt less like an introduction and more like a homecoming." Quindlen takes us on a literary tour of the city through her eyes as well as through the writings by great authors who wrote about and set their stories in London.

The books feature a 14 year old Sherlock Holmes and show how Sherlock Holmes acquired some of the traits mentioned in the Arthur Conan Doyle series, such as his logical and deductive thinking, his interest in beekeeping, boxing and the violin.
