I'm reading a few books at the same time as always.
Mostly I'm concentrating on The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century by Alex Ross. It's a history of 20th century classical music, somewhat technical at times but not overly so. The book presents a good amount of history and culture outside music so as to place things in a broader context. It's a good book.
I recently finished The Man From High Castle by Philip K. Dick, a novel set in an alternate history where Germany and Japan won World War II and rule different regions of the former United States. I enjoyed the book until the end, which seemed unresolved.
I just started The Eagle Has Landed by Jack Higgins, a novel about a Nazi attempt to kidnap Winston Churchill. The book seems promising.
Halloween is fast approaching and I want to start reading something Gothic but I haven't yet chosen anything in particular.
