I'm now reading The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki. It's really good so far.
"Book of Form and Emptiness" was excellent. It takes a lot to get me invested enough in a book in these latter days (it was much easier when I was a teenager) but I feel very fortunate that my last three books, espescially Cloud Cuckoo Land and Book of Form and Emptiness and, to a lesser extent, Boy, Snow Bird fitted that bill.

I am not sure if it belongs here or "what are you listening to?" but my last slate of audiobooks has been excellent as well. The Audible Sandman, Vol. II was spectacular and so are the Andy Serkis-narrated LOTR and The Hobbit. I am now finally trying to fully digest The Silmarillion via audiobook and, while not a Serkis narration, it is good and definitely working for me in a way that trying to read the text version did not.

I will have to see what's in my Kindle for a textural eBook for the weekend, since I finished "Book of Form and Emptiness."
