I'm reading Matthew Reilly's "Temple". I would label this as Action/Adventure from what I know about it (just started it, so not very far along). As best I can tell, it's about a govt/military/science group heading into the depths of Peru to find an Incan artifact that a competing group of bad guys is also after. I expect lots of action, shooting, etc. just based on other Matthew Reilly books I've read.

I'm game for this.

Atmospheric Disturbances is a short book narrated by a man who is losing his mind. I have posted the description below. Rivka Galchen, the author, is most regularly seen as a short story contributor to the
New Yorker.
When Dr. Leo Liebenstein’s wife disappears, she leaves behind a single, confounding clue: a woman who looks, talks, and behaves exactly like her—or almost exactly like her—and even audaciously claims to be her. While everyone else is fooled by this imposter, Leo knows better than to trust his senses in matters of the heart. Certain that the original Rema is alive and in hiding, Leo embarks on a quixotic journey to reclaim his lost love.
