1. Best Book I've Read this Year

Sun Oct 5, 2014, 02:38 PM

Oct 2014

I just finished The Confessions of Frances Godwin by Robert Hellenga and it's the best book I've read this year. It tells a good story well, yet has substance and interesting characters and locales.

I've just begun The Bookman's Tale by Charlie Lovett, and --so far-- it's also a bit off the beaten track and very intriguing.

I tend to choose my books after reading the weekly NYT Book section, and I order them 'used' from Amazon. I put them on my Amazon list, and when the 'used' price gets to my price range I push the GO button to order it. Some of them I get for 1 cent plus postage. On SS, it allows me to have my mental sustenance and stay on budget.

Yes, "Reykjavik Nights" is Indriðason's newest, but it's a prequel, a story about Erlendur in 1974. scarletwoman Oct 2014 #8
