Me, I’m currently on ”F” is for Fugitive by Sue Grafton, still from my local library.
How are you liking F is for Fugitive?
It’s great…the detective was staying at a motel and investigating someone’s murder and played the anti-hero by beating someone up.
I suspect there’s a twist further in the story, but I don’t know for certain: I’m still reading it and I just had it renewed by my local librarian.
I’m reading Discworld series after some Lemmings suggested it. They’re great! Read Sourcerer and Guards! Guards! And just starting Men at Arms
I laughed so much at the Brotherhood scenes in Guards! When the brothers are bickering, and when the guy has to recite the whole long password but the last line is incorrect.
Death’s End by Cixin Liu
It’s been an on and off affair for a little while now. I had a lot more free time back when I finished the first two, so I’m kinda struggling to get any meaningful reading done. Honestly, at this point I’d be happy just finishing this one by the end of the year.
Recently completed HFM Prescott’s The Man on a Donkey, a wonderful piece of historic fiction about the main actors (and a few fictional ones) of the 1536 Pilgrimage of Grace—a rebellion against the religious changes of Henry VIII. Despite being a scholar of 16th century England I’m not at all interested in historical fiction, but this was quite a beautiful work set as a chronicle and tracing half a dozen characters from their youth until the final suppression of the Pilgrimage in summer 1537. Prescott does get straight to business so I can imagine it would be a bit difficult to place oneself without preexisting knowledge of late medieval/early modern England, but that thrown-in-the-deep-end attitude worked for me.
Edit: word is that Hilary Mantel was deeply influenced by Prescott, as was the playwright of A Man for All Seasons.
Been on a mystery kick lately too. Not much time to physically read so all audiobooks here. Recently finished “Holly” by Stephen King and “Listen for the Lie” by Amy Tintera. Both are great as audiobooks!
Tomorrow, I’m completing “Tell the Machine Good Night” by Katie Williams (SciFi… Just okay ". After I’m excited to move onto “Dungeon Crawler Carl”. I heard from many its one of best audiobooks ever!
