Which was a good issue.

And now I'm reading the much-talked about Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu.

I'm about 2/3rds through. Interesting, but I'm not sure I'll want to read any more of his stuff. But perhaps the last 1/3rd will impress.

I am syncing between the Kindle of To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis and the audible audio of said book. It is fun but I am not as enthralled by it as I was by Ink and Bone and Paper and Fire by Rachel Caine. I do want to re-read Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome now.

I just finished reading The Last Queen of England by Steve Robinson. It's #3 in his mystery/suspense/intrigue series starring Jefferson Tayte, a professional genealogist. I have found this series to be quite delightful, and the fact that I can borrow them from Kindle Unlimited means that I get to enjoy them without spending any additional money.

This was a very interesting series for me. It hit a much different pleasure center in my head than most books do, very little action/suspense but it was interesting to see a new society and culture be born and grow into something different. I doubt I will read this again but I am glad I finished it.

Next up: Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett and then a few weeks of "too hectic to even think about reading" time.

Well, it was OK. The bit with the immersion video game seems to have been straight infodump. I'm not interested enough to buy the next books at full price. Perhaps if they're ever on a Kindle Daily Deal.

Next: Asimov's SF for September 2016.

I'm reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. Someone on the forum said it was better than Gone Girl, which I quite enjoyed. I'm not sure about that, though I'll withhold judgement until I've finished (about half way through).

What does keep me from strongly liking her books is that Flynn is a master at writing unlikeable characters, including the main protagonists. I find the main character in Dark Places very unsympathetic, and at times I wonder why I'm bothering to keep going with the story. The hope of final redemption, maybe?

I'm in the mood for travel so I'm reading "Riding the Iron Rooster" by Paul Theroux. He is traveling by train from London to China. So far, it's been quite a journey

Dark Places does not have a good ending as Gone Girl, but I did enjoy Dark Places more. I had to ditch Gone Girl. The main character was too despicable for words.

I've ditched Criminal Crumbs, I'm re reading Death of A Trophy Wife by Laura Levine, and reading The Bronze Horseman, by Paullina Simons. The latter is going quite slowly. It's a romance, hence my lack of enjoyment, but it's supposed to be a masterpiece of the genre, so I'll keep slogging through it until something snaps in me.

Finished "Friday the Rabbi Slept Late", by Harry Kemelman. This is the first book in the "Rabbi Small" series of detective stories. Rabbi David Small is a scholarly young man who is finding it difficult to fit into the Jewish community of the small town of Barnard's Crossing. He would prefer to spend his days in study and theological debate, but his congregation expect a social secretary for their community. An opportunity to use his skills for logical deduction and solve a mystery arises when a young woman is found dead in the Rabbi's own car. Excellent, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Finished Fix, which was enjoyable. Now about a third of my way through Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury.

First thing: Best title evar!
Second thing: very rich prose, downright poetic without stooping to rhyme or excessive alliteration.
Third: this book has obviously influenced many a writer of books and script (and I have probably seen a movie or three that was a treatment of this story) and so I have to work a little to flush that detritus out of my mind and appreciate this book in and of itself.

I'm so pleased you like it. I came across this series some time ago (I have a complete paperback set), and I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest too.

You know it's a quote from Shakespeare? It's said by one of the witches in Macbeth: "By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes."
