What are you reading this week of October 2, 2016? [View all]



Interrupting my Dr. Siri read-a-thon for Michael Crummey's The Wreckage. I swear, reading this book is like diving into a silky, warm pool of water. He writes so beautifully. "Only the birds came into view, hallucinatory flashes of colour dipping through the branches." He's describing a battleground!

Listening to Rage by Jonathan Kellerman. Good psychological thriller about some very gruesome murders. I did enjoy The Water Knife which was so explosive, but then it just fizzled out at the end. Glad to have been warned about that in advance.

Now, here's a little book humor for you:

Ever realize how surreal reading a book actually is? I mean, you stare for hours on end at marked slices of tree while hallucinating vividly.

Do you think people are talking about The Lord of The Rings when they refer to 'The Good Book'? Yup.

You know you're a book lover if you give your name as Godot when ordering coffee at Starbucks. (I would so do this, if I ever went to Starbucks. Which I don't.)

What books are you ordering up this week?
