What Fiction are you reading this week, October 14, 2018? [View all]


Library in Japan

Interesting article about having too many books, or not. All Those Books You’ve Bought but Haven’t Read? There’s a Word for That. The word is tsundoku, at least according to the article. Also, "The (wo)man with an ever-expanding library understands the importance of remaining curious, open to new ideas and voices."
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/08/books/review/personal-libraries.html

Right now Ready Player One is remaining tsundoku here because a library book I had on reserve became available. So I'm reading Depth of Winter by Craig Johnson wherein Walt Longmire faces his worst nightmare down in Mexico on the trail of a vicious drug dealer. I like Walt. If you want to check out this series I strongly suggest you read them in order.

I'm still listening to The President Is Missing. I am enjoying the feeling of having a president that I actually care about, even though he's fictional. Sure beats reality.
