This list is FILO (First In Last Out; the most recently read are listed first).
- "Mindsets" (non-fiction, which is rare for me). Interesting thoughts about how our beliefs about learning affect our ability to succeed. I'm not through it yet...
- "The Lovely Bones" by Anne Sebold (?)
Wow. Tender and sad and touching without being sappy. I laughed, I cried, I stayed up late to finish it.
- A Jesse Stone novel by Robert Parker, of Spenser fame. Nicely done, quick read, great dialogue - except that it creates unreasonable expectations for my own
repartee :-)
- Several old Agatha Christie books. Always good.
- "Little Drummer Girl" by John LeCarre. I got a little lost in the politics, but liked the story.
- "Buffalo Girls" by Larry McCurty of Lonesome Dove fame.
It's all about Calamity Jane, with whom I
share a birthday. Very nicely done.
- "The Rule of Four" by xx Caldwell and xx ThomasSomething
Entertaining, probably more so if you know more than I do about Princeton's
campus and the fraternity system. They had lots of interesting references
to ideas or books in my life.
- "Let Me Tell You a Story" by John Feinstein,
about Red Auerbach, centered on these lunches that Red
organized once a week.
- A bunch of others that I'll remember when I stop trying to.
