What are you reading this week of August 13, 2017? [View all]

Hiya.

Blue Labyrinth by Preston/Child had a really good, suspenseful ending.

I am still reading the big book of Inspector Rebus short stories, The Beat Goes On by Ian Rankin. Love it. I try to read one story at least every other day.

I got The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson from my library. I was very surprised they would actually carry a book with that in the title. I had a rather amusing chat with the librarian who told me she refused to even look at the cover. Her loss because I tell ya, in reading the first 10 pages I howled with laughter, cried like a baby, and spent several minutes just contemplating one sentence that totally blew my mind. Pretty cool book and I try to read for a few minutes each day.

I'm doing the same with Terry Pratchett's wildly funny and beautifully illustrated graphic novel, The Last Hero.

What sort of interesting reads do you have going on this week?
