Finished Chanur's Homecoming by C. J. Cherryh. Almost done with Ringworld (audio) by Larry Niven. Next I am reading Vagina: Revised and Updated by Naomi Wolf. Not sure what I will listen to on the commute yet.

Started reading a Fantasy called The Demon King. Sort of LotR-ish but keeping my attention so far.

I enjoyed The Wanted, though I'm not sure quite as much as some of the other's in the series. I thought Joe Pike felt like a bit of a cypher - if this had been the first time we had met the character, there would have been little to engage with. Only knowing his backstory saved it for me. Still, I gave it 4 stars as any book by Robert Crais is still above average for the genre.

As to the film, there were some unnecessary and unusual changes made by the screenwriter (who was friends with Highsmith), but it was still a great work on its own. |

If you're still in an LGBT mood, I would recommend the fantasy novella Passing Strange by Ellen Klages. It takes place in 1940 San Francisco during the World's Fair. The main character is an artist based on Margaret Brundage who created many of the lurid covers for Weird Tales magazine. For me the historical fiction and the magic didn't mesh seamlessly but I liked it a lot anyway.
It also had one of my favorite covers from last year. http://locusmag.com/2017/01/gary-k-w...-ellen-klages/ |

Actually, I just started the 2nd Dave Brandstetter mystery from Joseph Hansen. I was quite pleasantly surprised to find that the first one had held up well.
