Reading Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel, a story about two women. A charismatic, corpulent professional psychic whose connection to the spiritual world torments her, and her shy assistant. There's also a nasty little demon who travels with them and is quite amusing in a rather revolting way. Review says: "insightful, darkly comic, unorthodox, and thrilling to read." Only 70 pages in but finding it quite enjoyable.
Listening to Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan. I just started this one, thanks to recs from dedicated reader PoindexterOglethorpe. Thanks, PO. You are right. O'Nan writes wonderfully, his words painting vivid pictures. Very down to earth and sometimes funny.
What books would you recommend this week?
