    Brotherhood in Death by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts). A really awesome murder series.

    Just finished We All Begin As Strangers. It was a Christmas gift. Interesting writing style, easy to read. The story is fiction but it's inspired by true events from the 1980s.

    I’ve found myself with a lot more free time (bittersweet).

    Just finished The Spy Who Came in From the Cold by John Le Carre.

    Currently reading Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein.

    Up next is Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie.

    Excellent list there. Is that you first Le Carre or have you read others? What did you think?

    I usually don’t read thrillers, so this was a sugnificant change in tone for me. It took me a little while to catch up to the plot and setting, but I was quite happy to have read it. I think Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy will be on my list shortly.

    Next to Larry McMurtry, Cormac McCarthy is the best American writer of their generation, IMO.

    Amazing what those Irish genes can spout in words, neh?

    Fantasy Land by Kurt Anderson

    A very different interpretation of American exceptionalism!! Good insights to our current political debacle.
