This past weekend I read The Songs of Distance Earth by Arthur C. Clarke.
Wow! What a really great book!
I stumbled upon a rather old paperback called The Man In The Maze by Robert Silverberg. I am a little over halfway through. It seems like a solid, entertaining, thought-provoking sci-fi novel from the late 1960s.
I hope to get my hands on The Harrows of Spring by James Howard Kunstler. This is the fourth and last installment of the World Made By Hand novels.
I enjoyed the first three quite a bit. Perhaps it'll be next on my list.
What is everyone else reading?
Fiction for a change. I have started:
The Buddha in the Attic*
The Year of the Flood
The Whole Town's Talking*
God Help the Child
Soul Mountain
The Round House
Forest Dark
The two asterisked ones, both about long distance courtships, are the most interesting so far.
I loved "the songs from distant earth" - just finished it yesterday.
The Woman Who Smashed Codes, the biography of Elizebeth Smith, subtitled "a true story of love, spies, and the unlikely heroine who outwitted America's enemies."
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry fiction bestseller by Rachel Joyce. NYTimes reviewer said, "..it is about all the wonderful everyday things Harold discovers through the mere process of putting one foot in front of the other."
I think this would appeal to older readers/retirees who can identify with looking back on our lives. Definitely includes humor and interesting quirky charm of small-town and rural English life.
The Handsome Man's Deluxe Cafe another in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. Always enjoy his works.
Lucky thing is I bought each of these for $1, and it will fetch more than that in credit at the used bookstore. Getting paid to read??
John Le Care "A Legacy of Spies."
I really enjoyed it.
