It was a bit I did not up dated my post. Now It has all my "best Books" so far!

I'm in between far too many books: The Brothers Karamazov in a Grou Read, The Dark Half on Audible, Le vie dell'Eden by Eshkol Nevo and The Day of the Scorpion.
Will I survive?

All her books are delicious! I loved them alsmost as much as the TV Series of when I was a child!

And I've started watching The Gilded Age, that reminds me of some Henry James's works. Liking it quite so fare - but I'm right at the beginning

That was OK at first but ended up annoying me."

But I found it such an incredible story!!! It's almost unbelivable she managed to get that far!
