It's been a book buying week. I picked up Mary Anne Mohanraj's Wet and Sarah Waters' Fingersmith on Sunday. Bill talked about a New York Times review of Max Barry's Jennifer Government, so I ordered that, and I've got a few more that aren't coming to mind right now still on order. Now two more look interesting: The Emperor of Scent: A Story of Perfume, Obsession, and the Last Mystery of the Senses by Chandler Burr, from a Washington Post review, and Danyel Smith's More Like Wrestling, a little local color set in the '80s drug boom in Oakland and profiled in the Chronicle today.
