What are you reading this week of November 5, 2017? [View all]

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?
