Fiction

We loved that one, hermetic, Last Bus to Wisdom.

I finished The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. What a timely read with all the recent discussion about socialism and the candidacy of Bernie Sanders. I loved The Lacuna but it made me sad too. IMHO, there has never been anything more Un—American than the Communist witch hunt carried out in the 1950s.

After finishing The Lacuna I read Miracle at St. Anna by James McBride. Miracle at St. Anna took place in WWII in Italy from the perspective of black combat G.I.s. It was very unusual. Thank you for the recommendation, japple. Mrs. Enthusiast will like this one too.

I am currently reading Avenue of Mysteries by John Irving. I'm not so far into Avenue of Mysteries.

Mrs. Enthusiast read Avenue of Mysteries by John Irving and enjoyed it very much. Now she is reading White Fire by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. This is one of the Pendergast series. We have read nearly the entire Pendergast series.
