PattyMacDotComma Just read Rules of Civility by Amor Towles, and learned how the young and beautiful gate-crashed the rich and famous in 1938. I bet it still works!

I'm glad you liked it. I didn't care much for the first part of the book, but it is improving for me now. I don't know if I'll like it as much as you do yet, though, but I'm not even half way through it yet. I'm reading it for a GR discussion because I threw the tie breaking vote, but I don't do too many of those anymore because I have little patience for reading things I don't enjoy now.

PattyMacDotComma Die Trying by Lee Child is the second in the popular Jack Reacher series. Reacher is a larger-than-life, modern-day knight errant, trying to save us all from each other. Lots of action!

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1415 comments I finished The Egyptian by Mika Waltari. The setting is ancient Egypt at the time of Pharaoh Akhnaton. It is told in the first person point of view of Sinuhe, Akhnaton's physician. The book is long but well worth reading. Waltari's research is impressive. He paints a compelling portrait of life in ancient Egypt at a time of political upheaval.

I have read quite a bit at the seaside in Malta. Nice books generally, but one has struck me hard: Suite francese by Irène Némirovsky.
A touching description of life in France under the Nazi occupation. She ment to write 5 books; she only managed 2 before being deported to Auschwitz.
WHat struck me most of these books were her main idea that there are no collective repsonabilities: each and every one of us is responsible of what he does - or doesn't do. No generalization as Germans are all evil, French are all good. You are what you do...

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1415 comments I finished Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield. It wasn't as good as her novels, The Thirteenth Tale or Once Upon a River. Although it's been described as a ghost story, it's really more about the impact of suppressing a trauma.
