What Are You Reading In 2017?

Is this a mystery like most of his?

 

The book description read like it's a mystery, but I'm only 25 pages in. I'll let you know more as I read more. It just came out Monday.

Collection of stories - some good, some not so good. There is a story here, however, titled A Murder in Falkner, that was one of the best longform pieces I've ever read.

I'm halfway through and would not recommend it. Too much like Hunger Games/Divergent, but not as good as either.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

 

Wanted to re-read it before diving into the Hulu show. Read it back in high school.

This was terrible. It was like reading someone's thesis or dissertation (it emerged from the author's as a matter of fact) and it was insanely boring. I'll try to find a better read on what was a monumental event of the 20th century. Two thumbs not up.

Read four of my better half's Lee Smith books last week.

 

Fancy Strut

Black Mountain Breakdown (best of the four I read)

Family Linen

The Last Girls

I love the movie, Field of Dreams to the point that one year on our family vacation we visited the movie site and I have to say, this book (ok I am listening to the Audiobook) is much, much better than the movie. So much more in this book than the movie told you about, so if you like of loved the movie, read the book and you will thank me latter.
