What are you reading this week of December 17, 2017?

[hermetic]

I finished The Lost City of the Monkey God. The ending was kind of odd; took a rather unexpected direction. It was quite frightening, though, as one might expect from Preston. This book will stay with me for a long while and I am sure curious to learn more about what's going on down there now.

Also finished listening to Future Home of the Living God. This was typically full of Erdrich's beautifully turned phrases and world wisdom, but be advised. This was largely a story about being pregnant. And it's a Christmas story.

Plus I've been watching American Gods (Neil Gaiman's writing) on DVDs. Hmm, interesting pattern there. Not on purpose, either.

Getting away from "God", I am now reading Saturday by one of my favorite authors, Ian McEwan. Granted, it is about a surgeon... Anyway, it's described as "A brilliant, thrilling page-turner that will keep readers on the edge of their seats."
I like it so far just for McEwan's elegant prose. Plus, I know his endings always have an unusual twist.

So, what pages are you turning this week?

Embrace the light.
