Clearing my palate of "heavier" reading with The Sentry by Robert Crais.

Never Go Back by Robert Goddard. One of my favorite authors. Great mysteries with usually something from the past that is revealed that affects the current characters. Wonderful writing too.

It's a tough start, but once I got past the first /18th of the book, it gets better.

I found Magic Mountain tough going too and I don't think I ever finished it.

I found Magic Mountain tough going too and I don't think I ever finished it.

I've had to put it down for a while. There were some great cigar discussions, but Uggg... why is this on lists for best 20th century novels? I will try to finish it, but... it is a tough read, mostly just from not being able to relate to the perspectives of the characters.

I'm picking through J.R.R Tolkien's Letters, The Letters of D.H Lawrence and finishing off "Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said" (By P.K.D).

Where The Sea Breaks Its Back
Corey Ford

I read this many years ago before I went to Australia, thought it was time to pick it up again. Very interesting read on how a flotilla of convicts, criminals, and n'er do wells founded Australia.

Rex Stout "Where There's a Will".

 

[finnian3]

Working my way through Das Kapital, The Myth of Sisyphus, and The Essential Basho.

The Pigeon Tunnel by John Le Carre amongst other things.

Fascinating auto-biographical journey through various stories (true and possibly embellished...) around his life. If you enjoy his novels, I'd definitely recommend it.

Cornelius Ryan, A Bridge Too Far.

One of the best WWII histories ever written and a favorite of mine. The film was great too. Better than The Longest Day IMHO.

Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" one of the most underappreciated existentialist novels of all time.
