I'm sorry you haven't had much time to read.

This past week I read Wilderness by Lance Weller. I felt very connected to the few characters in the book, really heartfelt. This is a book that would translate into an excellent action packed movie. A movie of Wilderness would be an ambitious but tremendously rewarding project.

After Wilderness I read The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. I can understand the appeal The Dog Stars held for japple and Mrs. Enthusiast. This is a brutal dystopian novel and as such it would not be for everyone. But, as with Wilderness, I felt deeply connected to the few characters. The ending was particularly satisfying. We both felt The Dog Stars Part II would be in order.

This evening I will start Safe From the Sea by Peter Geye.

Over the past week Mrs. Enthusiast read Lighthouse Island by Paulette Jiles. She is anxious for me to read it.

Mrs. Enthusiast has started reading Wilderness by Lance Weller. She has a great connection with persons of the canine persuasion. I think Wilderness is the sort of book she will enjoy.
