I am reading Last Bus to Wisdom by Ivan Doig. I'm not very far into it yet. My reading has slowed down.

Earlier Mrs Enthusiast read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Now Mrs Enthusiast is reading The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver.

I hesitate to mention it but Mrs. Enthusiast was not at all enamored by To Kill a Mockingbird. I think the racism was very disturbing to her. She also felt, after reading The Poisonwood Bible that the writing in To Kill a Mockingbird suffered in comparison. I have never read To Kill a Mockingbird but I understand it is dear to many readers.
