I am starting Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, so far so good... if you are into North Carolina low country coastal settings.

Just finished this yesterday - quite good.

I agree. I loved the setting and how it tied into the story.

I am starting A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles.

"The Year of the Monkey" by Patti Smith, a kind of stream of subconsciousness magical realism which happens to transmit on my frequency ...if you will.

Started David McCullough's Truman (1992) Monday - I think I passed 20 percent lol. It's a dictionary, but the pages are turning. WWI artillery officer - right now he's the Senator from Missouri. Fascinating read. I really liked McCullough's The Wright Brothers and Brave Companions: Portraits in History. Pioneers was good also.

I just picked up Noir by Christopher Moore last night. I am anxious to read this tonight. It looks to be quite the fun-filled action-packed mobster-book.

Politics are wherever you look for them I guess.

Having lived in South Georgia for most of my young life, this book always pissed me off for its truth. Most novels rarely approach reality. I have spent a good part of my professional life fighting against rattlesnake roundups. And cock- and dog-fighting rings are always where you least expect to find them and a sure sign that you need to haul ass in the opposite direction.
