What are you reading this week of August 28, 2016? [View all]
Getting to the end of River Thieves by Michael Crummey. What a great book. It is just full of surprises. It's a perfect book to read in hot weather because the vivid descriptions of the brutal winters in Newfoundland can really make you feel cold.
Yesterday I saw my library got The Nest by Cynthia D. Sweeney so I ran up and got it. It just came out in March and got some terrific reviews so I am looking forward to starting it in another day or two.
I gave up on the CD Flashback, by Dan Simmons. Written around 2011, Simmons seems to feel he could see the end of the USA and why it happens. He has a Masters in Literature so you'd like to think he is intelligent, but no. Seems Social Security and Medicare have bankrupted the county. Climate Change turned out to be a great hoax. And "OBAMA!" In good conscience, I just could not listen to any more of it.
So I took it back to the library and got John Grisham's The Last Juror. Now this is a good story. Takes place in the early 70's but still relevant. Punk kid of a wealthy family looks like he will get away with murder, and rape, thanks to the family dollar. Can't wait to see how it ends.
I also picked up the DVD of Grisham's The Rainmaker. I plan to watch it tonight. What's your reading plan this week?
