    Ishiguro keeps popping up on my radar.  I might just have to give him a go!

    Great stuff. The world of video games is just a bonus, doesn’t matter if you‘re not into that (which I am). Essentially, it could be about restless people in any creative field.

    I hear she is a good writer.  Let us know how you like this one.

    After finally finishing a book I intentionally slowly savored because I like it so much (Bone's memoir, Surrender), I finally dove into Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken.  Quite an engaging story!
