What are you reading this week of December 6, 2015? [View all]

I am absolutely loving Ivan Doig's Last Bus to Wisdom. What an amazing author he is. From The Oregonian - "One of the finest novelists writing today." Yep, I agree.

I'm also listening to Purity by Jonathan Franzen on CDs. Great story. Very contemporary, involving pretty much everything that's in the news these days.

What is your pleasure this week?
