And dogs.

Reading Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer. The 2016 election is over and our two favorite guys, Obama and Biden, get together to investigate a strange death. It's a crazy romp through the mean streets of Delaware. Not great literature but surely a great way to escape the horrors of today. I had a little trouble accepting these two as just ordinary guys but I'm getting used to it. I'm sure the author did not expect that average Joe would soon be the next president. This book has an acknowledgement page at the beginning that made me laugh out loud.
Not to be confused with the book from 2013 by Mike Holden with the same title. Doesn't appear that anyone has ever read that one. I couldn't find any reviews and even the description just stops mid-sentence.

Listening to The Woman Who Died A Lot, the last (so far) in the Thursday Next series of adventures in Literary Land. Delightful ideas and writing as ever from Jasper Fforde.
