Now that the rhapsody of ballet season is over here in NYC, I thought I'd share some very brief thoughts on my other adventures over the past 7 weeks.

Books: A Quick Review of My 2011 Reading to Date
It seems lately that friends have been asking me for some book recommendations and, because I'd love to get some recommendations from you readers out there, I thought I'd start by giving a snapshot of my 2011 reading to date:
1. The 42nd Parallel,John Dos Passos. If the mark of an excellent piece of fiction is leaving me wanting to go out and buy the rest of the trilogy immediately - then this book is a success. It took me a little while to get into it, but once I did - I spent more than one late January night foregoing sleep to continue reading. Dos Passos describes things perfectly, without sacrificing plot or pace. Loved it. (I started reading volume 2 of the trilogy, 1919, last night - already engrossed.)
