The Book That Hastened Bono's Puberty, in a Good Way

I do not have a rock 'n' roll clock  it's embarrassing, but I mostly get up before the Edge goes to bed, and it is early, early morning when I read.That said, I am enjoying reading Anne Enright's The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch in the dark on my iPad.It's a lot of what I like and don't: conquests sexual and actual, a banquet of taste and touch, the perfume and acrid smells of the noble rot corrupting humbler sensibilities rather than the other way around.
