This novel I'm reading by Norman Mailer is about the Hitler family. He goes into great detail about the toddler Adolf's anus and poops.

[Courtney]

Currently reading "Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter" Pretty darn good so far. I like the way the story is written like a non-fiction book (except that the story is actually good).

[Driftwood]

I am reading the new Dean Koontz "77 Shadow Street" and its giving me the creeps.

Oooh, that's a good thing, since the last book by Koontz gave me the eyerolls.

[Cheri]

I'm reading "Apocalypse on the Set Nine Disastrous Film Productions" but the ISBN comes as Welcome to My Nightmare: Eight Disastrous Film Productions. Same chapters in different order with an extra chapter.
Go figure.

I have finished Star Gazing - Linda Gillard. Now I am going back to reading The Truce - E. Milan.

[C. J.]

I have actually fallen in love with a book by choosing it completely at random! I like the book The Breach by Patrick Lee.

Also just by telling close friends books you have a little curiosity in and will want to maybe read if they have read it and have it.

I am currently on Ted Dekker with a book called Blink.

[Youndyc]

Started Galileo's Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith and Love this week. So far, so good.

[Courtney]

Started "The Linen Queen" and it is good so far.

[C. J.]

One could try a new genre like "courtroom thriller." John Grisham is great.

I want to when I am done the book I am on now (horror) with Ted Dekker, try out Mary Higgins Clark. I heard she is good at suspense.

The Orphan Master's Son

[Sarah]

Oh, I'll be curious what you think of that one, janine! I read it a few weeks ago.

I decided to read it after I read your review.

[Sally, la reina]

It is next on my kindle. I'm ready.

[C. J.]

I've been taking forever reading Blink by Ted Dekker.

More importantly I am also reading the book of Jeremiah in the bible.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm rereading The Awakening.

[Phil]

Is it keeping you up?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

No.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm starting Ashkenazy: Beyond Frontiers and Handel's Bestiary: In Search of Animals in Handel's Operas.

[Cheri]

I'm reading The Tiger's Wife for book club.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have read and finished Inspector Zhang Gets His Wish! - Stephen Leather.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finally finished The Truce - E. Milan. Now I think I will read The Guardian's Apprentice - J. Michael Radcliffe.

[~Geektastic~]

To Say Nothing of the Dog. Taking a Vampire Chronicles break to avoid burnout. Besides, the first three are the best in the series anyway.

Devices And Desires

Commander Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard has just published a new book of poems and has taken a brief respite from publicity on the remote Larksoken headland in a converted windmill left to him by his aunt. But he cannot so easily escape murder. A psychotic strangler of young women is at large, and getting nearer to Larksoken with every killing.

[janine]

I finished The Orphan Master's Son today. I wasn't too invested in the first chapters, but in the end I thought it was excellent.

[Sarah]

Yes, the first few chapters almost lost me and then I got caught up in it. I didn't expect his childhood to be dispensed with so quickly.

[~Geektastic~]

Am I a Snob?: Modernism and the Novel, for my TC challenge: a lit-crit not about Jane Austen or Victorian writers.

[Alias Reader]

I finally finished Einstein: His Life and Universe~Walter Isaacson.
Parts of it were a bit of a slog, but all in all it was an interesting book. Rate: 3/5

I'm am now going to finish, Riding the Bus with My Sister: A True Life Journey~Rachel Simon

AR, I really liked the Einstein book by W. Isaacson. Then for relief, I read
Driving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein's Brain. It was soso.
I'd read one more Einstein book if I could find a good one.

[Cheri]

I am looking for a 'book set in the South' to finish my library's winter reading program. I don't like books set in the south so can someone recommend something short without a lot of angst?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Okay, that rules out Gone with the Wind, Tobacco Road, Deliverance, and To Kill a Mockingbird....

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Awakening is short and takes place in New Orleans. It has some angst....I don't want to reveal anything more....

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Does it have to be for adults? There's always Cotton in My Sack...

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It's been so long since I read Walker Percy or Eudora Welty that I don't remember if they're angsty or not.

Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil

or maybe Nashborough but a little longer than above...

[Phil]

Mudbound is set in the south.

Short but full of angst: Bastard Out of Carolina
Short and entertaining (it's narrated by the protagonist's invisible friend) but also maybe a little angsty: Bitter Milk: A Novel

Or to go a different way, what about any Flannery O'Connor collection of short stories? Everything That Rises Must Converge

Tall order. The South loves its angst.

[Sarah]

Oh! Wait! Southern fun!
Mama Makes Up Her Mind and Other Dangers of Southern Living by Bailey White.

Cheri, I read it for a group read. I'll ask if anyone can recommend any other books on E. If so, I'll post the recommendation here.

Einstein's Dreams?

I remember reading Einstein's Dreams for college. I don't actually remember anything about the book, though.

Same here on both counts.

Did it but should revisit.
