What Fiction are you reading this week, February 4, 2024? [View all]

You can't read all day if you don't start in the morning


I'm reading The Guide by Peter Heller, "a heart-racing thriller about a young man who is hired by an elite fishing lodge in Colorado, where he uncovers a plot of shocking menace amid the natural beauty of sun-drenched streams and forests." Lovely prose, keeps you just drifting along, like a boat on a river. So far...

I'm listening to The Mirror & The Light by Hilary Mantel. This is the final book of the Anne Boleyn trilogy and it's not being read, it's being performed. It's marvelous. We are there with Thomas Cromwell in his final years as he climbs to the heights of power in 1500's England. The "problem" with this is it's 38 hours long, requiring a LOT of listening.

What are you spending your days reading, or listening to?
