Finally got around to listening to The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk. My wife has been urging me to listen to it for years, and I finally did it. What a book! Queeg is Trump. Trump is Queeg. Paranoia. Nothing his fault. Everyone hates him. Etc.
Reading Mr. Monster by Dan Wells, the second in his series about teenage sociopath John Cleaver. I don't know how far Wells takes John in the series. I don't think he'll become a serial killer. So far he's only killed one person, though 1) he wasn't a person and 2) he needed killing. He could become a CEO. Who knows.
Also reading In a House of Lies, the latest by Ian Rankin. That guy sure can write. Rebus has been retired for some time, but he's still in touch with Siobhan Clarke (now a DI) and Malcolm Fox, the main character in a few of Rankin's books. You don't necessarily have to know the entire Rebus oeuvre to read this, but you really couldn't go far wrong by doing so. With more than 20 Rebus novels, it'll take some time to catch up to the latest.
Started reading You Were Made for This by Michelle Sacks. Story about a maybe not so happy American couple now living in Sweden - inherited a house. Of course, it wouldn't be worth reading if everything were as it seems. It isn't. I've got sidetracked by Rankin and Wells, so I'm not sure I'll finish.
Last year I started keeping a list of books read, books I should read, audiobooks downloaded and to be downloaded, and books I gvae up on. The list is about 20 pages long. Actually a bit overwhelming. Of course, I will likely die before I make my way through the list. So it goes. I'm having fun keeping the list.
In this regard, this website has been invaluable, for obvious reasons just from its name. It's not a particularly pretty site, and some info isn't accurate, but it's the best and most useful of its kind and has formed the basis for many in my "to read" list: www.bookseriesinorder.com.
I also went to my local library's checkout history. In ten years I have checked out nearly 1900 books. Not that I've read all of them, but I certainly have checked out a lot. Mostly fiction. Some non. Some cookbooks. I should probably download the list and incorporate it into my 20-page list. Not sure if that will be eye-opening or depressing.
