I finished October the First is Too Late and, without any spoilers, would just say that it is an entertaining read, with some nice food for thought. As much about music as time travel!

From WH:
Ben Macintyre’s “A Spy Among Friends,” a study of the weird relationships in England – fueled by social class and Oxbridge connections and shocking volumes of alcohol -- that made Kim Philby so successful.
Nonfiction: Helen Macdonald’s “H Is for Hawk” is one that you might like, with lots of sharp and well-crafted description of the natural world.
In fiction, Anthony Doerr’s “All the Light We Cannot See” might well be worth all the hype and attention that it continues to receive.
From CH:Grandma Gatewood’s Walk. Nonfiction about a 67 year old who decided to walk the Appalachian Trail. I loved it.
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. Fiction but based on many true stories
The Aviator’s Wife. Nonfiction about Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Dead Wake. Nonfiction by Eric Larsen, sinking of the Lusitania
Just placed the order on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteGood work! Now I'm nudging everyone here to get started!
ReplyDeleteI started reading The Sparrow. I find the beginning interesting, but haven't read much at all yet.
I also just got The Great War and Modern Memory from the library and will try that after I finish Sparrow. (unless something more interesting intervenes!).
