What Fiction are you reading this week, December 21, 2025? [View all]

Get wrapped up
I'm reading Amsterdam by Ian McEwan. A sharp contemporary morality tale, cleverly disguised as a comic novel, Amsterdam is "a dark tour de force, perfectly fashioned" (The New York Times, 1999 - back when they were still believable)
Listening to Dark Angel by John Sandford. A group of hackers threatens to take over the power grid of Minneapolis, putting thousands of lives at risk. Letty Davenport is brought on board to go undercover and infiltrate the group, posing as a rogue programmer for hire.
Wishing everyone a happy Christmas, Thursday, or whatever you prefer.
