Earlier I read A Swimming Monk by Malachy McCourt. TexasProgresive told me about A Swimming Monk. It is not strictly a work of fiction but I suspect it contains elements of fiction. It was fun! Entertainment is all I ask for in my reading and A Swimming Monk delivered.

Hermetic, I'm reading one that is wowing me right now! That is The Wreckage by Michael Crummey. Michael Crummey has a nack for bringing his characters to life. The characters are people I care about! I'm all caught up in this one.

Earlier in the past week Mrs. Enthusiast finished The Bartender's Tale by Ivan Doig. She liked it, especially the satisfying conclusion. Now she is reading Disco for the Departed by Colin Cotterill. She says she is really enjoying this one. She is especially fond of the Dr. Siri novels. Thank you for introducing us to Dr. Siri, scarletwoman.
