I haven’t picked my next book yet! I just finished Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and am working on my review for tomorrow’s posting :)) Anyone have a suggestion for a book to pick up once that’s done!? I like historical fiction and books in translation.
In the realm of historical fiction, I hauled a copy of Jane Smiley's The Greenlanders to Colorado and back. It's a commitment, and I guess I wasn't ready!
Anything by Erik Larsen or David Grann. Both have great reads in real fictionalized history. Devil in the White City, The Splendid and the Vile, The Wager. Happy Reading!
I also want to read ...chemistry. Right now I’m reading Richard Russo’s first in his trilogy - Nobody’s Fool. Fabulous descriptions of interior monologues both funny and profound. Fantastic book. I’d forgotten how well he writes.
I just finished Lessons in Chemistry. I read it over the weekend. It was tremendous! I loved it! I'm now prowling around the house, looking for a new book to read. I'm not sure if Trust will be it, based on your comments!
A great choice! I hope you end up enjoying it.

I just finished ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ by David Grann and it was so very good & very interesting. So I endorse this Grann recommendation.
‘Disoriental’ by Négar Djavadi is both historical & translated !

Totally agree, Linda!

I have GOT to read Lessons in Chemistry. Everyone who's read it seems to love it!
