# Book Review: Seen Reading by Julie Wilson

My last read of 2012 and it was written by friend and colleague Julie Wilson. A lovely end to a year of fine reading.

*Seen Reading* is a collection of microfictions written by Julie alongside literary voyeur spottings from her SeenReading.com heydays.

Quote: READER: Caucasian female, late 30s, with strawberry-blond hair, wearing brown skirt and lime-green blouse with sleeves rolled and buttoned at the elbow. Sunglasses sit in lap.

*The Kite Runner*

Khaled Hosseini

(Anchor Canada, 2004)

p 157

On the opposite page is “Ends” a short (short) story about a couple sitting at opposite ends of a couch and one of them noticing all the little age marks of the other before noticing her own flaws. When did this happen?

The book itself is a beautiful little object worth keeping on a coffee table or bookshelf. The paper and production quality is lovely and the contents are witty, quirky and worth savouring.
