I didn't realize that I was going to read another book before the new year, but The Anthologist by Nicholson Baker came into the library for me yesterday. It's short, and once I started, I was swept into it. I found out about this book from reading this review in the New York Times. If I told you that it is a treatise on rhythm and rhyme in poetry told in a novel where not much happens, that may not grab you, but I have actually found it charming. I wonder if it would be a good book to discuss at a book club meeting?
