Correction to an older post . . .

It probably only matters to me, but as I was updating our 2024 list, I discovered another author we have read multiple books by - well, two. Helen DeWitt! Who would have guessed that she wrote both THE LAST SAMURAI (which we read in 2001) and THE ENGLISH UNDERSTAND WOOL (which we read late 2024). Two very different books. Furthermore, who would have guessed she would still be smoking in this century? Helen, Helen, Helen.
