What Fiction are you reading this week, March 3, 2019? [View all]



I picked a heckuva book to start this month off: The Gate to Women's Country by Sheri S. Tepper. I wasn’t liking this at first and didn’t think I was going to stick with it. But then things started happening and I was in bed with a monster cold and didn’t feel like finding something else. So, here’s part of a review that now describes my take on it, halfway through…

very second-wave feminist and exhibits many of the problems one would expect from that description. It's also beautiful and sad and, while exclusionary, an otherwise excellent and enjoyable treatment of the issues that it did deal with.

Listening to One Perfect Lie by Lisa Scottoline. Follow along in the mind of a psycho as he plots a horrendous crime.

What are your selections this week?
