I just finished Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz and David Hayward. What a hoot. When I went to the library last week I bought only "light" mysteries, but this was unexpected! Fun.
Lets see...I've got Trickster's Choice on the go, Glass Castle still in progress, and I opened Counterfeit Magic. I'm weird. They're all different genre and sometimes I need to change stuff up.
the 1951 sportsman's guide to fishing; ny, nj, and conn. issue.
Since I'm always enthused by both film & literature concerning the good old "Cosa Nostra", I just recently began Underboss - Sammy "The Bull" Gravano's Story of Life In The Mafia by Peter Maas. So far it's interesting, but since it's true & not a novel, can be a little confusing at times with all the different names tossed around. Thank God there won't be a quiz when I finish - lol!
I am about to start "Lake Wobegon Days" by Garrison Keillor. I read it in the 80s and loved it. My copy is still in California, but I found a copy in excellent condition at a yard sale for 50 cents. Cheaper than shipping.

My mom and dad had a few sets of the radio program on tape. I loved listening to them, and when I read his work I always "hear" it in his voice!I read it last year... I think it's great, particularly if you've ever listened to the radio program!
