What are you reading this week of February 25, 2018? [View all]



I'm reading A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. "Charlie Asher, it seems, has been recruited for a new position: as Death. It's a dirty job. But, hey! Somebody's gotta do it." It's quite funny.

Listening to The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. This book is so intricate and intense. Tartt really puts you right there and it's sometimes unpleasant or even quite infuriating. No wonder it won a Nobel for fiction.

What's your favorite book this week? Please be sure to tell us who wrote it and something about it.
