What Fiction are you reading this week, September 10, 2023? [View all]

Bookshop on wheels in Canada

I'm still reading A Visit from the Goon Squad, an unusual book. Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's grating. I'm at the final chapter that is supposedly taking place in our foreseeable future and not liking it at all. Earlier in the book there were mentions of major things being done to combat global warming but somewhere along the way, other important things seem to have somehow been lost.

Just finished listening to We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker. I had a hard time staying with this one. It just did not hold my interest. Sometimes it made me laugh, though, and it did have a surprise ending.
Now I'm listening to Robert B. Parker's The Devil Wins by Reed Farrel Coleman. Parker was the famous author of over 70 novels including the series which became the TV show Spencer: For Hire. Sadly, he died in 2010 but some of his series have been continued by other authors, like Coleman. The Devil Wins is a Jesse Stone crime thriller involving the discovery of a recently killed man along with the skeletons of 2 young girls who had disappeared 25 years earlier. Good so far.
