What are you reading this week of December 24, 2017? [View all]

Whatever your thing, I wish you a happy one!

Still reading Saturday by Ian McEwan. This was written during and is about the times just prior to our invading Iraq, so a lot of it concerns speculation over whether or not this will be a justifiable move. Pretty depressing. But it's also about poetry, music, families and love; so there's that.

Next I think I will read Death of the Demon by Ann Holt since that one has been in my pile for a while now. Looks like good fare to take my thoughts away from this country for a bit.

What will you be finishing up the year with?
