I am finally finishing up my Rebus short stories and the Erdrich masterpiece. Next I will embark upon a long-awaited journey back to Lincoln's time in the historical-fiction novel, Henry and Clara by Thomas Mallon. This unusual love story of a "young couple whose fateful encounter with history profoundly affects the remainder of their lives. Lincoln's assassination is only one part of the remarkable life they share, a dramatic tale of passion, scandal, heroism, murder, and madness..." has been on my must-read list for several months. to one of our participants here for recommending it.

I am listening to Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair, a surreal version of Great Britain, circa 1985, where time travel is routine, cloning is a reality, and literature is taken very, very seriously. This is a fun story of characters being kidnapped from novels and how a renowned Special Operative in Literary Detection must enter a novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and pleasant
