Before signing up for Kindle Unlimited and sampling the titles available there, I cleared the decks the last few days by reading a few books I didn't want to wait to read.

The latest Department Q mystery, The Purity of Vengeance by Jussi Adler-Olsen was unconventional and twisted, just like the previous books.

I read Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke and The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, both nominated this month in the bookclub. Rama was all about alien technology and a bit detail oriented for my tastes, although the first person account by the space commander did liven it up a bit. The Dispossessed was heavy on physics and politics rather than scifi, but it was interesting to read a utopia since currently the opposite, dystopia, is all the rage.

I skimmed through The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion which I'd seen mentioned in this thread. It was a romantic comedy from the perspective of an autistic spectrum man, which didn't work for me, but I can see the appeal if that's your thing.

Off to download some KU titles, starting with #5 in Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway mystery series and Hugh Howey's Sand.
