After finishing one novel today, this collection of Brookner essays, mostly on 19th century art, is my last left of 2017. Maybe not most's idea of a party but the delicious amber ale and snack food for later when I'll need to be social are more in that vein. I like the Brookner, but have definitely been distracted by some #NewYearDreams about my planned reads in 2018 starting with #ReadingtheIdiot buddy read. Happy 2018 reading! #decdays @Cinfhen
