What's everyone reading?
Hi everyone,
Thought I'd get my thread started here on what's everyone reading? I'm currently
reading John Grisham's "The Summons". It's very interesting and I hope to finish it
sometime today. What's on your coffee table, nightstand or end table?
Janese

I'm reading two interesting books:
The New 8 Week Cholesterol Cure, by Robert E. Kowalski
(I had to begin a statin 3 weeks ago which displeases me to say the least. I thought I was eating a healthy diet, but I'm learning a few things! This book was suggested to me by my long time chiropractor, whose opinion I value highly.)
Night Fall by Nelson DeMille, third book in the John Corey series.
(John Corey can be a really annoying hero at times who tries too hard to be funny, often when it's a bad idea, but the stories keep me riveted. Most of each book is set in New York City and Long Island, and having lived there for quite a few years, I'm familiar with the areas he inhabits and sometimes seems to haunt.)

Hi Alysia - As soon as I read your posting - I popped over to Amazon and was pleased to see that your book was available in my Kindle Unlimited reading. A coupla clicks and it was on my Kindle. Free - I should add! It's in line (# 3) for reading.

Just finished Duma Key by Stephen King which, I think, is one of his best. Have started Adam and Eve and Pinch Me by Ruth Rendell, my hard-covered book & also The Outsider by Stephen King which I downloaded from the public library. With this virus I am so thankful for books.

Maybe I posted this before? Because I was reading it earlier but then stopped.
Something Deeply Hidden. It's about quantum mechanics, but for the layperson. And the existence of multiple universes, multiple yous. Fascinating.

@LaDolceVita wrote:@nyadrn Hi Diane, I respond to this thread whenever I see a new post. May be the longest running thread on AARP. I would love to see it continue. So many good books listed here over the years.
I agree. This and Rock n Roll are my 2.
hope you are well. I have been working remotely starting on 6 weeks now.
Miss Edie.

@nyadrn I think of Edie too when I visit here. She loved books and libraries. I miss many of the posters who left after the big changes. There were so many great recommendations from many genres. I would love to lure Janese back here but I do not think I can .

"Daughters of the Dream" by Tamara Lucas Copeland, is a great book about middle class African American life during the civil rights era and the amazing friendship between eight women starting in elementary school and that continues today. A great, interesting and easy read.

I'm currently rereading a favorite Michael Connelly novel, THE LINCOLN LAWYER. You may recall the move that starred Matthew McConaughey, about a defense attorney who consistently walked a line of near disaster, while defending a less than stellar client. Like all of Michael Connelly's books, this is a fast paced page turner that I hate to put down, even though I know the story and how it will end.

Love to see new posts in this old and wonderful thread. I am reading Galileo's Daughter by Dava Sobel which has been on my book shelf for years. My mother read it a few years ago and I put it away for a rainy day. Very interesting biography with much information both about Galileo, his daughter and their period in history.

Finally, since early Jan., downloaded The Dutch House from our library. There were so many holds on it now I get to find out if it's worth the wait. That's on my tablet & my physical book is The Scribe of Sienna by Melodie Winawer, which I also just started. I also have 2 Kindles with Look Homeward Angel on 1 & Peter Winsey mysteries on the other. People ask how I can read different books at the same time, but I have no answer. Just can & I consider it a gift.

I finished The Dutch House, after waiting months for it, & was bored from Pg. 1. I'm trying to figure out why is was #1 on best seller list because it was repetitious beyond belief. Now reading Scribe of Siena & it grabbed me on the 1st page.
