What are you reading this week of October 29, 2017? [View all]

I'm reading Broken Things by G.S. Wright, who is my mailman. I've known for a while that he is a (self) published sci fi author but only now have been able to get a hold of one of his books. It's quite good, about the future in which there are no more children, only androids. At 149 pages I expect to finish it today or tomorrow then I will undertake the 793 pages of The Harry Bosch Novels by Michael Connelly. This is a compilation of three of his books, The Black Echo, The Black Ice and The Concrete Blonde. I'm looking forward to it being an enjoyable read. I just hope I don't drop it on my foot. Sucker must weigh 5 pounds!
Have a calm, safe and fun Halloween, every'body'. (I'm keeping my hopes high that we won't be under martial law or something by then, otherwise I'm gonna be stuck with an enormous lot of candy.) Special thoughts for you Eastcoasters in the current storm path.

The wisdom of the Stoic Philosophers are what is keeping me sane during these "interesting" times.

We didn't have one single trick-or-treat-er at our house. We are way too far out in the boonies.
