    Just finished The Kite Runner. One of my favorites...so heart warming and gut wrenching at the same time.

    I completely share your kindle enthusiasm.

    I just finished Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. A great book about what life might be like if a pandemic wipes out about 99% of the population; despite that, it's not gory or graphic, as most of the action happens years later. Highly recommended.

    Just started The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters after hearing about it on the NPR book concierge program.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    Well, The Bachelor Wins The Game was good, The Bachelor's Dance was the next in the series and was OK, it was almost a carbon copy of the first....up until the end then it had a bit of a different ending...now I'll read the rest of the series anyway because I'm invested....lol but I have to wait til I can get it from the prime library next month sooooo...

    I just started "Rest For The Wicked" by Cate Dean...it's a supernatural/fantasy type book, not a romance novel, so it's from my favorite genre...

    And most of this on the way back....slow at times but some of his stories are touching and others are about touching. I love Bob Saget.

    Just downloaded to my kindle The New Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (English translation). Book 5 in a series by a fabulous Russian author. It started with The Night Watch, which some might have seen when it was made into a (terrible) movie. I had not realized there was a fifth book, as the fourth book was seemingly-definitively called The Last Watch.

    Just finished Proust's Swann's Way. Tried to read an earlier translation but found it tedious. There is a new translation by Lydia Davis that is excellent. Great reading.

    Just starting Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys. I don't think I enjoyed The Ocean at the End of the Lane like some of you but the writing was good enough and story entertaining enough to make me want to read more.

    Was it your first Gaiman? If so, indeed you should keep reading.

    About halfway through The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. Very intriguing so far.
