I watched the interview Klebold did on (I think) 20/20 and was not impressed with her message. Not sure I want to read more of the same in the book. I didn’t get the impression there was much there in terms of things that could apply to most HS kids.
Stardust - Gaiman
Lexicon - Max Barry
I just started “Gilead” by Marilynne Robinson – who teaches, or taught, at the U of Iowa.
I read Gilead a while ago. It is beautifully written and I would be interested enough to read the next book about the same characters but it was for me a bit “too spiritual” in the sense that there was a lot that being Jewish, I couldn’t relate to in understanding the sermons and the references.
I admit – I hated Gilead. Liked Lexicon okay, though. I finished the last of Ann Leckie’s Ancillary sci-fi books this week. (Ancillary Mercy, the 3rd one). Really liked the last one – I want to go back and reread all of them now that I know what is going on!
I rarely read books anymore, but I thoroughly enjoy listening to audiobooks. If anyone is recommending a book and is particularly fond of the audio version, do tell.
@Midwest7, there is a podcast called Books on the Nightstand where they regularly recommend audiobooks. They do “regular” books, too, but I often pick up ideas on what to read from them. I can only listen to their podcast when I am doing something where I can stop to take note of their suggestions, though. 
@Midwest67 I am very fond of the narrator for the Louise Penny books. I will listen to pretty much anything Caroline Lee narrates. Loved her Kate Morton and Liane Moriarty books.
@intparent Great. I am an avid fan of podcasts as well. @cartera45 A narrator can make or break a book, can’t it?
I love, love, love so many classics on audio. Dickens, Trollope, Wilkie Collins, Henry James, Edith Wharton and many others are sooo wonderful in audiobook form. Will provide specific titles when I have a chance to look over my Audible library.
PS. I really like Simon Vance as a narrator. He has a fairly low-key style.
PPS By far the most extraordinary audiobook experience I’ve ever had (and I’ve listened to hundreds and hundreds of audiobooks) is American Pastoral by Philip Roth, narrated by Ron Silver. Truly a perfect marriage of book and narrator.
I read A Man Called Ove last weekend. It was sweet. Handed it off to my sister for her spring break reading.
I’m nearing the end of A Man Called Ove and enjoying it. It is a wonderful love story.
I rarely listen to books but did listen to one of the “Number One Ladies’ Detective Agency” series. It was very nicely done.
I just finished listening to Delicious by Ruth Reichl, the former editor in chief of the now defunct Gourmet magazine. While it won’t win awards for great literature, I thought the book was entertaining. It left me hungry for gingerbread and curious to know more about James Beard.
@rosered55 I listened to several in the series. Excellent on audio.
I just found out that Pat Barker has a new novel out. Her Regeneration trilogy is one of the best things I’ve ever read.
I just finished The Nightingale and really enjoyed it. A good choice for anyone who likes historical fiction - WWII and the French Resistance.
Quincunx. Very atmospheric.
Looking Backwards. Edward Bellamy. A classic.
Confederacy of Dunces. Will make you laugh out loud.
Almost finished reading " The Summer Before the War" by Helen Simonson. Really good read about the beginning of WW1 - Downton Abbey fans would like it.
Finally read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. Quick and good read.
Does anyone want to discuss any good Kindle unlimited books they have read? I am trying to up my “free” book quotient. Even with the library I need to cut back…
