What are you reading this week of October 15, 2017? [View all]

I'm listening to The Fifth Witness, a "legal thriller" by Michael Connelly and now look forward to reading his Bosch novels. Coincidentally, I came across a Hieronymus Bosch painting online a couple of weeks ago and was having a great time exploring all the little intricacies. Then I heard about the books. Serendipity? We shall see.

Reading Beauty by Sheri S. Tepper, "a thought provoking and finely crafted novel that thoroughly involves the reader in the life of one of the most captivating heroines in modem fantasy, Beauty." So far, this is quite entertaining and fanciful. At first it's a colorful fairy tale, full of evil relatives. Then it jumps into a frightfully drab, dystopian future. Hard to say which is scarier at this point.

What new things are you looking at?
