What Are You Reading?

I am reading IN SUNLIGHT AND IN SHADOW, edited by Lawrence Block. Various writers have penned stores related to the paintings of Edward Hopper.

How about you?

Spending the day in bed with the flu and Margaret Millar's Rose's Last Summer. The latter is more enjoyable.

Once again, I have a stack of Library Books that are edging towards OVERDUE. Fortunately, many of the books are short.

Diane and I are 100 pages into LEONARDO DI VINCI. We're listening to the audio book, but we ended up buying the print book because of the many references to various paintings. It's good to see what the narrator is talking about.

Brian-You need to write a bio of Millar and her Canada. You are the person to do it.
On my tbr, George.

I got a few pages left to go in F. Paul Wilson's PANACEA, part of the author's Secret History of the World, which also included his Adversary Cycle and his Repairman Jack novels. Wilson just can't seem to leave Secret History alone; he returned to the well for a trilogy about Repairman Jack's boyhood, again for a trilogy concerning Jack as a teen, and once for a collaboration with Heather Graham for a Lee Child anthology, and now this. I have sequel to PANACEA -- THE GOD GENE -- on top of Mount TBR.

The concept: If a universal cure-all for every disease existed, would it (for believers) be blasphemous and go against the word of God? Add in gunfire, CIA assassins, and two different centuries-old cults.

I'm about halfway through a re-read of Joe Wambaugh's The Choirboys. Loving it just as much as the first time.

I'm about 80 pages into Dan Brown's ORIGIN, which is fairly fast moving. It's the latest Robert Langdon novel. I didn't read the last couple of his, but Barbara read this one and said it was good, so I'm reading it too.

She's reading a Longmire, AS THE CROW FLIES now, and THE DRY came from the library yesterday. I want to read that one too, when she's done with it.

I'm deciding whether I should read a biography of Gary Gygax who started the company that originally published DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS.

I am in the middle of an A. A. Fair book about Donald Lam and Bertha Cool. I just finished a non-fiction book (The Blitz) which I have been reading off and on for about a year.

I have read some of the stories in IN SUNLIGHT AND IN SHADOW, including Megan's, but not all of them.

Me, too. Interesting how some create a world from the painting, some refer to Hopper and some barely reference either.

Just finished Force of Nature by Jane Harper. Good but I didn't like it as much as The Dry.
Loving the new Kent Anderson, Green Sun. Read 2/3rds of it today. Only his third book in 30 years. It's a continuation of Sympathy For the Devil and Night Dogs all of which have the same character. Next up Sirens by Joseph Knox. Also looking forward to the new David Mamet-Chicago and The Wife by Alastair Burke.
