Reading

So when I updated a couple days ago Carrie Fisher was still alive. Given the circumstances of her massive heart attack on board the plane, I guess I should have known her chances of survival were not at all good. Still, I hoped for better news, and it's heartbreaking

Good grief. I am amazed that you can keep track of the books you have read during the year. I just read and then give the books to the library or to the used book store. Never keep abreast of them, except for a few special ones I liked a lot and want to recommend. Just went and checked out three more from the library, have a book in my purse and am reading the Little Paris Bookshop, which is setting beside my chair. Any that you would highly recommend for me?

A few on the list you've already read. Did you read Scalzi's Lock In? I can't remember if you said you did. I think you'd like Planetfall and The Rosie Project quite a bit. If you liked the narrative storytelling of Cloud Atlas, then you might like The Bone Clocks. I think State of Wonder might be something you'd like too.

The Spousal Unit got me a vintage first edition hardback of Rosemary's Baby for Christmas. Going to start reading that one now. The movie has always been one of my favs, but I never read the book - at least, not that I can recall.
