and I have a Richard Dawkins book as well. 

Which one? Besides "The God Delusion", I really enjoyed "Unweaving the Rainbow" and I've purchased but have not yet read "The Greatest Show on Earth".

Forgot to update. This was the first in a series, pretty good mystery. I got the second one but instead I decided to read a Western, The Shopkeeper by James D. Best. That was also the first in a series, but it was nothing special so I doubt I’ll track them down. The main character was too much like a superhero—rich, clever, and an amazing shot? Lame. 
 

Started The Diary of a Country Priest, by Georges Bernanos. 

 I forgot to update (again). I wasn't clicking with that book, so I dropped it and started The Virginian, by Owen Wister.

finished up Jo Nesbo's upcoming The Night House and have to say it's quite trippy. Of course when a book starts with a kid getting eaten by a phone you're pretty much guaranteed it's a crazy story.  :lol:

I got that preordered for Kindle. Was thinking about reading it on vacation.

Lol I know I was being sarcastic hence the emoji. She's mentioned it several times and I'm just teasing her. 

I'm going to the FOOKIN' KIRBY CAFE, BITCH.

 

Oh yeah, his friend also made us reservations for the FF14 cafe. I might be more excited if there's other FF merch there.

So, I’ve (finally) finished Wuthering Heights. It’ll go in that list of books where I can’t quite understand why anyone likes any of the characters as my impression of the various Heathcliff’s and Cathy’s was a cycle of

emotional/physical abuse. Maybe that was the point but as a book for leisure, I could do without it.

 

I’m now reading the Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading for work and The World According to Garp for pleasure.

Got my copy of The Armor of Light by Ken Follett today and I started on it at work tonight. Kingsbridge series is probably my favorite of all time and I was really hyped for this. Hoping I can finish it before we fly next Saturday because I really don’t wanna take this data’s book in my carry-on. 

I think I've read two in that series. I enjoyed both of them, just never caught up with the others.

I love huge, historical epics like this. Follett has plucky heroes you want to root for and the worst villains you love to hate. My favorite so far has been the first, Pillars of the Earth, but I've loved them all and this one is shaping it to be great.

 

I also discovered an older book called Trinity: A Novel of Ireland by Leon Uris and I look forward to starting it in the near future.
