What Fiction are you reading this week, July 14, 2024? [View all]

"BOO"ks


I am reading Welcome To Night Vale, by Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor, the book that dares to ask, "What IS reality?" This is a book of the real podcast by the same name, which I had never heard of. A "podcast that is Lake Wobegon by way of David Lynch, Lovecraft, told in the form of a community radio newscast." I had heard that the book was funny and it has made me laugh but there are a few things about it I don't care for. I am only halfway through it though and hoping all will be resolved in the end. And then I will start listening to the podcast. Because it really is weird. And funny.

Listening to The Hit by David Baldacci. Two assassins are called on by our government to eliminate the worst of the worst-enemies of our country: monsters committed to harming untold numbers of innocent victims. But now they are forced to go after each other. Quite good, lots of action. But from 2013 so Baldacci doesn't know yet how bad things really can get.

Hope things are getting better for you. What will you be reading/listening to this week?
