I was reading First Family by David Baldacci, but didn't like it; Baldacci is losing steam. Grisly, implausible, predictable, boring. I took it off my Kindle --- one click does that! As far as I know it doesn't archive or anything, just zap.
Now I'm reading the Book of Air and Shadows, Michael Gruber --- a lost Shakespeare play, letters and code found inside the binding of old books from a contemporary of Shakespeare who was trying to involve him in Popish plots, a mysterious female bookbinder with a dubious past, a heavy weightlifter lawyer who hates himself for philandering -- I liked how weightlifter didn't know how to fight a group, so he picked up one man and swung him around and hit another man with him. Not bad.
