After starting the year with several duds, I feel as if I've hit my stride, as my current reads all seem likely to end up four stars and will do much to pull my mean ranking to a respectable level.
- The Royal Road to Romance by Richard Halliburton, a classic travel book from a century ago
- The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard Evans, which is what it says it is
- Blott on the Landscape by Tom Sharpe (audio), which is every bit as funny as I remember from reading it decades ago
- Entering the Silence by Thomas Merton, the second of his journals
Next up (once I finish Halliburton) will be
A Delicate Truth by John le Carré for the February discussion at the New Leaf Book Club.
