What Fiction are you reading this week, July 7, 2024?

13. I read The Bridges at Toki-Ri. I'm embarrassed to say that I previously had no idea that James Michener wrote it.

The movie, which I’ve also seen and enjoyed, tracked the book closely.

That said, I’m not a fan of Michener in general. Bridges, is only 85 pages, and doesn’t read like the other works I’ve tried. This book also had an excerpt from Hawaii, which I could not get through. The inch by inch building of an island over 40 million years is just too much — and too little — for me.

I’m currently reading The Confessor by Daniel Silva, the third Gabriel Allon novel.
