I listened to One of Our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper fforde. OMG! How fabulous! It's the first of any of his books I've ever read, and I'm going back to the beginning of the series to read them all.

Right now I'm reading I Found You by Lisa Jewell. A man shows up on a beach at a British seaside town, apparently bereft of memory. Meanwhile, a young wife reports her husband missing, but apparently there's no official record of his existence. I'm just 25 pages into it and it's quite good. Turns out Ms. Jewell has written a bunch of novels. Sigh. I will need to read them all, I know.

I'd take an immortality treatment just to read all the books I want to read.
