In reply to the discussion: What Fiction are you reading this week, June 2, 2024 [View all]japple
(10,317 posts)22. I'm about 1/3 of the way into Lief Enger's latest (which you recently read)
I Cheerfully Refuse. I must admit that every time I pick it up, I have to re-read the last few pages I read the night before, because places/names aren't staying with me for some odd reason. It's an unusual story, but I feel like I've been plopped down in some near-distant future and haven't yet figured out what happened to our country. Hope that I will have all the answers by the time the book ends.
I loved Demon Copperhead and will probably read it again in a couple years. I also loved Last Bus to Wisdom as Doig was a favorite of mine and a couple of other folks around here. So many good writers, so little time.
Thanks for the weekly thread, hermetic.

I've just been reading some British police things. Waiting for the next Jodi Taylor Time Police book on the 6th.

Love Pratchett and Hiaasen. I just picked up "Wrecker" one of his YA but not really novels
