This meme is no more. But that doesn't mean I can't answer the three Wednesday questions on my own. And so I shall.
• What are you currently reading? Man on the Run: Paul McCartney in the 1970s. A Christmas present. It's heavier than I expected it to be, and so far it's as much a love story as show biz biography. In 1970, Paul was a newlywed, a new father, and unexpectedly unemployed because the band he adored had imploded. He drank too much, smoked too much (of everything) and unraveled. It fell to wife Linda to alternately comfort him and kick his ass to get him through. As well illustrated by old whatshername above, I'm fascinated by how people cope with and recover (or don't recover) from adversity. With Paul, the key seems to be his natural talent and the love of a good woman.

• What do you think you’ll read next? In my cleaning I stumbled upon The Cracker Factory by Joyce Rebeta Burditt. Haven't thought about this book in at least a decade, but I really enjoyed it and it feels like a good time to revisit it.
Let me know what you're reading, and how you're liking it.
I just finished reading The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
