Related: About this forumWhat are you reading this week of November 5, 2017?
Enjoying my first Bosch novel, The Black Echo, by Michael Connelly. I like stories that just jump right into a mystery or action or whatever.
Also liking Henry and Clara by Thomas Mallon, though. This book begins with a lot of history of the families of Henry Rathborn and Clara Harris, both real people about whom not much is known. It has taken me a while to get through the beginning. It is interesting and well-written, just not very action-driven, for a while. Then Mallon starts blending history and fiction into a very compelling story and I expect to zip through the rest of it now.
What readings are you enjoying this week? And, what time is it, really?

(12,357 posts)I finished The Fifth Witness by Connelly and the publishers did a mean thing. 3 chapters of The Drop a Harry Bosch novel. I went online to my library and they didn't have it but they had The Lincoln Lawyer as an ebook. So I downloaded it. I think that might be the first of the Mickey Haller books.
About The Fifth Witness, it just grabbed me right from the get go. with 537 pages it just flew by.

When I moved here a few years ago I bought a foreclosed house. I did what I could to be sure this was not one involved in all that bank scandal stuff and there wasn't some angry ex-owner out there somewhere. It was all good, though. You know, for what it is.
I discovered my library has The Lincoln Lawyer DVD so I hope to pick that up this week.
