Thanks for the recommendation.? I am in the middle of reading Things in Jars, by Jess Kidd, which I learned about when Anmiryam read it.? A little offbeat, and a good story, well written.? (I also enjoyed Kidd's first book, Himself).? Another recent read, but much longer, was The Overstory, by Richard Powers.? There were a few times when the story made me walk away for a few days, but I was always compelled to come back.

For the mystery lovers:? I've started a book,? Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (such an uplifting title!).? It won the Nobel in Literature and so far, I'm loving it.? Set in Poland and written by .?
I'm enjoying the different locale, the different season (winter) and fresh characters who are so eccentric and interesting.? An excellent escape.
Finished Mexican Gothic.? Was so disappointed.? It came out of the gate with a bang, like a DuMaurier thriller and devolved into a not so great knock off of a Stephen King horror fantasy.? I just couldn't suspend my disbelief long enough to make it work for me.
