The Divine Comedy is a good read. I should re-read it, at least the good parts (Inferno).  >:-)
Ok, eight centuries has made it a bit troublesome to understand the references of recent events,
but that's why they have footnotes.

I'm reading "Jeder stirbt für sich allein" (Every Man Dies Alone), Hans Fallada, 1947.

I just finished Women on Women, ed by Nestle and Holoch. It's an anthology of short lesbian fiction.

I've read a couple really good summer sun-soakers so far: The Kitchen House: A Novel by Kathleen Grissom, and A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan.  Trying to find the next one...

Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan

Sorry that the grammar nazi in me had to correct the subject line format. It just seems important in a thread about reading.

Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain.  Not really my cup of tea, but I don't think I'm really the audience it was meant to target.  It's well-written and there were a few good chapters at least.  I love his TV show.

Was reading this.

Found his sparkle and humour diminished with age, became a rather painful read because of the utter pleasure I got from the earlier stuff.

Now I have to find something that will interest me on a 7 hour there, 7 hour back coach ride.

How They Met and Other Stories by David Levithan

My War Gone By, I Miss It So by Anthony Lloyd


‎"'We want to know what killing is like.' The words hang in my mind. If you are a young man of combat age frustrated by the tedium and meaninglessness of life...you may understand them. If not, you will probably think they come from a psychopath."

Just started a fascinating book.
'No rest for the dead' Ed by A & L Gulli.

It is a murder mystery were each chapter has been written by a different best-selling author.  Including the likes of Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen etc. But it is one story.

Wonder how it will stand up
