What Fiction are you reading this week, June 17, 2018? [View all]

Happy Father's Day! How about taking Dad out to a nice restaurant?


I'm finishing up Douglas Preston's The Kraken Project. Has anyone else read this one? It starts out with a "bang" but then the concept becomes rather outrageous. Granted, there's lots of action and evil people you love to hate, so it all goes by quickly. But that's pretty much all it has going for it. One good thing is that it has made me realize I really should read some reviews before I shell out any more bucks for a book. Live and learn, eh? (Thanks, PennyK, for your comment yesterday re. Island of the Mad)

Tell me about the really good books you are reading this week.

For all the children who cannot be with their fathers today.
