Books of December

The Art of Rivalry focuses on four pairs of artists, their relationships, their rivalries, their influence on one another.  Very interesting.  I especially enjoyed the chapter on DeKooning and Pollock.

This book was recommended in a column in the Houston Chronicle of recent great books to read, so I read it, so I read it.  Great?  More like bizarre.  I recommended it to my book club, so I'll see what they think later today.  For now...waste of time.
