What Fiction are you reading this week, Apr. 11, 2021?

Spring cleaning, anyone?


I'm reading Cathleen Schine's The Grammarians, "an enchanting, comic love letter to sibling rivalry and the English language...celebrating the beauty, mischief, and occasional treachery of language." I'm loving this book. Coincidentally, a comic strip I read every day, Pearls Before Swine, has just started running a story about a grammarian. Then, even more coincidentally, one of those toons was posted here, on DU, earlier today.

I got the audio book, Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter, by Lisa Patton. This story definitely has me emotionally involved even though I can't really relate to any of the characters. But I laugh, and I cry. I guess that's just a sign of some really good writing.

Got my second Pfizer jab Friday. Only a slightly sore arm yesterday. Feels great to be moving forward while all around me so many are insisting on staying behind, fools that they are.
