What Fiction are you reading this week, June 2, 2024 [View all]

I just got Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. "Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration."
Listening to Last Bus to Wisdom by Ivan Doig, the final novel from a great American storyteller. "Charming, wise, and slyly funny, this is a last sweet gift from a writer whose books have bestowed untold pleasure on countless readers." I'm loving it.
My internet was cut off for the past 2 days. So, I've got a lot to catch up on today. Thought I'd have to go to Mickey D's this morning for their wifi.

I've just been reading some British police things. Waiting for the next Jodi Taylor Time Police book on the 6th.

Love Pratchett and Hiaasen. I just picked up "Wrecker" one of his YA but not really novels
