What Fiction are you reading this week, March 1, 2020? [View all]

Happy March!!

I’m still reading the first chapter of The Truth, but only because this book doesn’t have chapters. It just goes on with the occasional double spacing whenever there’s a scene change. It’s still really funny, though.

I got the CD version of Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James because it was highly recommended by Neil Gaiman, via an email from GoodReads. Yesterday I listened to the first disk and I could only understand about 20 words in that entire hour and hadn’t a clue what was going on. It seemed the guy had a Russian accent but I couldn’t really tell. It’s read by Dion Graham who is evidently pretty famous but I was constantly thinking, WTF? So, this morning I went to GoodReads and found this, which explains a lot. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2661707390?utm_campaign=reviews&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=fictiondb.com
I’ve decided to not spend any more time on it but some of you might like it. I’d just advise you look into it a bit before investing any time or money.

RIP Clive Cussler. Author of more than 80 books and a favorite of many here. I liked Medusa and have The Silent Sea in my soon-to-be-read pile. He was a real life underwater explorer and the founder of the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), which has discovered more than 60 shipwreck sites and numerous other notable underwater wrecks.

Stay well, friends. Stay in and read. Then tell us about it.
