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 Youve Bought but Havent Read? Theres 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."

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.
