What are you reading this week of January 28, 2018? [View all]

I am most of the way through Deadline by John Sandford. I think I will check out more Virgil Flowers stories. Not really great literature, IMO, but fun to read.

In that same vein, I am listening to The Jester by James Patterson. I like the premise of this one, that you can extricate yourself from danger by using humor. Of course you have to be really good at it...

I decided to get The Jester because I have just been watching The Zoo, the TV series based on Patterson's writing, which I found at the library. I also found out that The Zoo is often called "that show people love to hate," and for good reason. After the first season the disk showed an interview with Patterson and I decided to get caught up on some of his novels as he seemed like a pretty cool guy. If any of you have a favorite Patterson, let me know.

Plus, let me know what you are reading this week.
