Evidently quite prolific. scratching chin Interesting titles, eh?Never heard of him.
I've decided to not read him at all. Too many books to start from scratch, but I've read reviews for his last few books and they haven't been endearing!Finished "Vicious Circle" by Wilbur Smith last night. Garbage. I was not impressed with Smith's previous Hector Cross novel, "Those In Peril", either. But this one is so disgusting I am ready to throw in the towel on Smith, an author I've always loved to read. He has a new one coming out, "Desert God", which I will probably give in and read, since it's going to be one of his ancient Egypt books, and they were good. I'll wait to check it out from the library, though; wasted too much $ on the last two.
Finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt - good, could have great.
Books with an unreliable narrator often provide the most thought provoking and engrossing experiences for readers. We must sift through the story trying to ascertain how events probably really unfolded.
The Goldfinch mixes the post-traumatic stress of a horrible event for a young boy and how it affects him through out his entire life. This is married with a painting he carries around with him for life - sometimes physically but always mentally. It is his anchor and ...
The one core element that really stood out for me was the cruel maxim that we very often become the very thing we despise. That is not fiction but a sad fact.
Just finished The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes. Good book, and well written, but not sure about the time-travel aspect of it.... worth reading though
I'm reading three things at the moment:
1) Crimes Against My Brother by David Adams Richards -- a Canadian author, Giller winner, who hails from my home province originally. He came to visit my high school class when I was in grade 11. Made a big impact.
2) The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers -- a short story collection that was a big part of True Detective. These stories from around 1895 are very creepy. Poe-inspired, I'd say.
3) As the Crow Flies by Craig Johnson -- One of the Longmire series. I've been reading these to my wife.
