Mister Pip is set on a fictional island in the Pacific. One of the books I read during my year of reading a book a day was Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones. And “Magical” because books are magic, powerful magic. “Tolstoy” because I read his last novel during my year of reading “Purple Chair” because I did a lot of my reading in a ratty, smelly, but very comfortable purple chair. My memoir about this year of reading – and a lifetime of reading - is entitled Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading.
