3. Hello, everyone! Thank you for the thread, hermetic.

I finished The Wreckage by Michael Crummy. I found The Wreckage appealing. But it isn't for everyone. Now I am reading the Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. I'm not very far into it yet. I've had a slow week.

Mrs. Enthusiast read Disco for the Departed by Colin Cotterill. She loves the Dr. Siri novels.

After Disco for the Departed we screwed up, badly. Mrs. Enthusiast started The Third Gate by Lincoln Child. She kept saying, "This sure seems familiar." But she kept reading it thinking she had read a book with a similar plot years ago. It turned out we had both already read The Third Gate. Not only that but of all the books written by Lincoln Child or Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston as a team or separately, The Third Gate is possibly the least memorable. That's why we didn't remember it. I did the very same thing twice recently, accidentally rereading the first two C.J. Box books.

Now she is reading Mortal Causes by Ian Rankin. She is in her element.
