jjmann3 is starting Eight Million Ways to Die (Matthew Scudder, #5)
The best off the Scudder series thus far! Two thirds detective novel punctuated by one third philosophical meanderings — almost perfect!

Eight Million Ways to Die (Matthew Scudder, #5)

jjmann3 is finished with The Bonfire of the Vanities
Written in the late 1980s, the Bonfire of the Vanities remains relevant today. Dickensian in scope, the tale prominently features down-home racial agitation, the gaping poor-rich divide, insatiable greed, sensational news stories, and sincere insincerity. The only thing lacking are iPhone videos and social media! I found the story fun and irreverant and a great escape

jjmann3 is 26% done with Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Reading this on a recommendation from a friend. Have not been really pulled into it, so I think I am taking a break.

Augustus was cruising to a solid 3-star review until the last chapter. And then, it suddenly became remarkable... review tomorrow.

jjmann3 is on page 200 of 405 of Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm: A New English Version
One of the best audio books I've listened to. How savage but innocent the old tales are.

Reading based on a recommendation made by my favorite-author-ever Robyn Young. So far it has been a treat.

Another fun yet read by the page-turner (or should I say tapper reading from an ebook?) CJ Box!
