What Fiction are you reading this week, May 8, 2022? [View all]

Happy Mother's Day


Still reading A Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders, a very big book wherein we study the writings of famous Russian authors. So I am just reading the short story Master and Man by Leo Tolstoy and it's very gripping. Tolstoy truly was a great writer and this story follows a rich landowner and his servant as they get caught in an intense snow storm. It's remarkable to see that people haven't changed much since 1865.

Listening to Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson, a chilling psychological thriller about a woman who begins to realize she is probably living next door to a serial killer. I hate when that happens...

What's on your reading list this week?

Oh I got a nice surprise this morning. A signed copy of The Sentence by Louise Erdrich. My son recently visited her Birchbark Books store in Minneapolis and sent this to me.
