The Jewish Book Fair began today at the Detroit Institute of Arts with Michelle Young talking about her book, The Art Spy, The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WW II Resistance Hero, Rose Valland who rescued much stolen artwork. The Festival goes on for a month. There must have been 500 people there.
Also saw Secret Mall Apartment and Roofman.
Watching Task, Low-Down, Baby Fever, Slow Horses. Has to be the best season of Slow Horses.
Sad that the Tigers are out of the series although they never played well after mid-July.
Still reading Black Cake, and trying to get started on Isola (Allegra Goodman).
Very sad about Diane Keaton. Certainly one of my favorite actors.
Still enjoying great weather. It's probably going to be gone with a thud.

I am commenting early because we have a friend from Stockton driving down to someplace in Southern California and staying with us tonight and we will be out most of Monday morning. Have been preparing for her visit and not doing much else. (including decluttering a closet which is a massive ongoing task) We are supposed to get two or three days of rain starting Monday night. THE ART SPY sounds good.
Glen finished reading REVENANT, a novella by Bill Pronzini, early last week. He always enjoys the books in the Nameless series. Now he is reading A VOYAGE LONG AND STRANGE: REDISCOVERING THE NEW WORLD by Tony Horowitz. Roughly, this book covers American exploration and settlement, from Columbus in 1492 to Jamestown's founding, and is part history and part travelogue.
I finished OH WILLIAM! by Elizabeth Strout last week, and I liked it very much. Now I am reading GUARDS! GUARDS! by Terry Pratchett. I have only read two other Discworld books. I have read about 50 pages so far and I am liking it. I did realize that was the 3rd book that I read in the last month that had no chapters. I like chapter breaks, the shorter the chapters the better.
