What Fiction are you reading this week, March 8, 2026? [View all]

This discussion thread is pinned.

Happy International Women's Day. Where women are healthy, educated, safe and free, everyone benefits.


I'm still reading The Wreckage by Michael Crummey. It's hard to read more than a few pages every day as it's about war and POW camps. Too real.

I listened to The Last Odyssey by James Rollins. "To save the world and our future, Sigma Force must embark on a dangerous odyssey into an ancient past whose horrors are all too present in this page-turning thriller combining cutting-edge science, historical mystery, mythology, and pulse-pounding action." Fascinating tale. Lots of magic and monsters.
Then...in chapter 25 they start talking about how a war the bad guys are trying to start is supposed to bring about Armageddon. And it was word for word the same discussion I read here on Tuesday. Rollins wrote it before 2020. Creepy/crazy.

Now I'm listening to Holy Ghost by John Sandford. Virgil Flowers investigates a murder--and a miracle--in this wickedly entertaining thriller from the master of "pure reading pleasure." Great escapism.
