What Fiction are you reading this week, November 3, 2024? [View all]

"The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.” – Isabel Allende


I am reading James by Percival Everett. This is exactly what people are saying about it: genius, harrowing and darkly humorous, a literary work of art, a real treasure. I'm glad I decided to buy it.

I'm listening to Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama, by Bob Odenkirk. A comedic memoir. He gets in a few good digs against our orange nightmare, so it's got that going for it.

Well, friends, all we can do now is wait and see. May truth and justice prevail.
